Question

A U.S. company can borrow 10,000 pounds in Great Britain for 6% interest, paying back 10,600 pounds in one year. Alternatively, the U.S. company can borrow an equivalent amount of U.S dollars in the United States and pay 13% interest. Assuming capital markets are efficient, estimate the expected inflation rate in the United States if inflation in Great Britain is expected to be zero.

Definition Definition Degree to which financial markets incorporate all available information into the prices of assets. In a more efficient market, the prices reflect the available information more than that in a weak efficient market. It is difficult for investors to outperform the market in a strong efficient market. This is because all the available information is already discounted in the asset's price. However, in a weak-form efficiency, the market does not reflect all information in the asset's price. As a result, it becomes easier to generate better returns in a weak form or an inefficient market.
