In blue we have the interest rate in the loanable funds market, and in red, the interest rate in the money market. If the real interest rate is above the nominal interest rate, either the investment exceeds the desired savings or the supply of money exceeds the demand of money. Shifting the saving curve to the right, and the demand of money to the right, will bring the interest rate in both markets to be the same.
Money and real Interest Rate
Fisher tries to establish the link between money and the interest rate. For him, the interest rate fluctuation in terms of money and goods is due to money fluctuation. He argues that the number, or figure, expressing the rate of interest in terms of money does depend upon the monetary standard…show more content… Thus, in order to compensate for every one per cent of appreciation or depreciation, one point would be subtracted from, or added to, the rate of interest; that is, an interest rate of 5 per cent would become 4 per cent, or 6 per cent, respectively.
The basic argument to retain is that the interest rate is always relative to the standard in which it is expressed. Fisher then distinguishes the interest rate expressed in terms of money and in terms of other goods. However, he notes that there will be as many interest rates as many kinds of goods that we have. To the question if there is then no absolute standard of value in terms of which real interest should be expressed? Fisher propose the Real income, a composite of consumption goods and services, in other words, a cost of living index affords a practical objective standard. However, he insists that we always have to consider the value in the two periods of time, so that we must translate from money into goods not only in the present, when the money is borrowed, but also in the future, when it is repaid. Fisher focuses more in the money rate because he believes that it is the rate in terms of money with which business men deal and hereafter the rate of interest. He also notes that the money rate and the real rate are normally identical when the purchasing power is constant or stable.
Fisher notes however that to translate the rate of
was partly aimed at alleviating upward pressure on real interest rates due to declining inflationary expectations. Hitherto, the prospect of rising inflationary expectations has, for the most part, not been a major concern for either the Fed or investors. This may now be changing with the apparent breaking down of the condition known as “Gibson’s Paradox.”
Gibson’s Paradox originally referred to the positive relationship between interest rates and the general price level outlined by Alfred Gibson
based investments in the UK to include but not limited to National Savings and Investment products; bank and building society accounts; offshore deposits; and credit unions. These investments will usually offer a very low variable interest rate.
Charles Schwab (2015), Money-Zine (2015) and Voigt (2012) all agree that cash and deposit based investments offer liquidity and flexibility to a portfolio. This will allow investors not to sell equity holdings during bear market in other to fund emergency borrowings
the relationship between interest rates and exchange rates in full, it will be useful to briefly discuss some of the important theories of exchange rate determination. There are many theories such as the theory of Purchasing Power Purchase Agreement (PPP), the Flexible Price Monetary Model (FPM), Sticky Price Monetary Model (SPM), Real Interest Rate Differential Model (RIRD), and Portfolio Balance Theory (PBT) of exchange rate determination. The PPP to maintain equality between domestic and foreign
will receive a coupon as an interest and at the maturity a principal plus coupon.
(b) Coupon and principal of the Regular Treasury bonds are fixed, therefore if the inflation rate increases in the forecasting future, investor will receive the same amount of coupon and principal with less real value and purchasing power.
(c)TIPS are simultaneously related to change of inflation rate which means the principal and coupon will adjust instantly to change of inflation rate. TIPS like Regular Treasury
explanations for the persistence of unemployment, George S. et al (1988) highlights two broad explanations for the persistence of unemployment. The first states that long run unemployment rate is impacted by exogenous shocks with structural characteristics. Such theories argue that technological changes increases the rate of structural unemployment for example changes in technology render some skills obsolete and even in the face of new job openings, the skills sets are insufficient or poor matches to

Numerous studies have found that a negative relationship exists between inflation and real stock return without explanation about the relationship, that is known as “a stock return – inflation puzzle” (Ghafoor et al. 2014, p.149). The relationship between stock prices and inflation still interesting for researchers due to its puzzling result between developed and developing countries. The negative relationship between stock return and inflation
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Emerging countries can be identifying with rapid growth rate and development but lower per capita than developed countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India, and China, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain. The economic growth of countries can be measured by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita.

no surprise that there have been many literatures on the determination of exchange rates given the significant impact that movement in exchange rates have on a world’s political and economic stability as well as the welfare of individual countries. It plays an important role in international investments, company profits and a countries macroeconomic fundamental factor such as unemployment, wages and interest rates among others. This has led to the development of many models and economic theories

4.1 Aims and objectives
Due to the Britain perform double tight fiscal and monetary policy is very firm. Control interest rate and stabilize the economy have played a certain impact on the sterling. For this project, the aim study is to find the answers for the main question, which is how the monetary policies affect the exchange rate movement.
