Due to recent pandemic in country A, the economic activity in this country has decreased substantially causing a significant reduction in government revenues. The country projects a budget deficit of 35 billion dollars next year. The government of Canada borrows $35 billion more next year than this year from the market for loanable funds. a) Use a supply-and-demand diagram to analyze this policy. Does the interest rate rise or fall? Note: make sure you label your diagram properly. b) What happens to investment? To private saving? To public saving? To national saving? Compare the size of the changes to the $35 billions of extra government borrowing. Hints: explain with diagram and/or formula learned. c) How does the elasticity of supply of loanable funds affect the size of these changes? Hints: demonstrate with diagrams.

What happens to the interest rates on bonds during recessions. I am confused becaus During an economic downturn,income and wealth are falling and thus the demand for bonds fall at every price level– the demand curve shifts to the left. Does this decrease the price of bonds meaning higher interest rates? Or an alternartive explanation: In recessions the government tends to cut interest rates in order to stimulate economic activity by creating incentive for banks to lower their rates on loans to consumers and firms, encouraging consumption and investment. This can lead to the interest rates on assets falling. Bonds are often a safe haven during recessionary periods because they offer a fixed income stream in times of uncertainty, and thus they may be favoured to other types of assets invesmtents increasing demand for bonds. The increase in demand Increases price of bonds thus decreases interest rates. or in terms of supply: the supply of bonds may fall because there is less incentive to…

How does the Overnight Rate Target inuence interest rates throughout the economy? (A) The Overnight Rate is the interest rate that banks use to borrow from each other. Therefore, the interest rates banks o er to the wider public are set with respect to this. (B) It shifts the demand for money to the right, increasing its equilibrium value. (C) It shifts the demand for money to the left, reducing its equilibrium value. (D) The Bank of Canada has no inuence, direct or indirect, on interest rates per se; this is more a function of government policy.

Read the excerpt below and use it to answer the essay.“In some ways the state of the world economy is less hostile today than when (then) finance minister Tito Mboweni read his Budget Speech a year ago. Global economic growth rebounded significantly in 2021, after the decimation brought about by the Covid-19 induced recession in 2020.One of the outcomes of this was a sharp recovery in commodity prices, which has resulted in much higher-than-expected mining tax revenue in South Africa. This, in turn, has provided some welcome – albeit limited – breathing space on the fiscal front.The local economy is thought to have grown by more than 4.5 percent in 2021 – the highest annual increase in more than a decade. On balance, the finance minister should be able to meet spending demands (including the extension of the Sassa payments) for the year ahead, without widening the Budget deficit or resorting to punitive upwards adjustments to tax rates.”[Adapted from article by Professor André Roux] •…
