3. Inflation…
A term used in Economics.
When a rise in the general level of prices of goods and
services in an economy over a period of time is known
as Inflation.
If general price level rises, each unit of currency buys
fewer goods and services.
Often triggered when demand for goods is greater than
the available supply or when unemployment is low and
workers can command higher salaries.
Inflation also reflects erosion in the purchasing power of
money.
4. What Is Inflation??
The rate at which the general level of prices for goods
and services is rising called Inflation.
A price level is a hypothetical measure of
overall prices for some set of goods and services.
Typically, a price level is approximated with a price index.
6. Inflation
Method of calculation (continued)
Example: In January 2007, the U.S.
Consumer Price Index was
202.416, and in January 2008 it
was 211.080. The formula for
calculating the annual percentage
rate inflation of 2007 is
Inflation (year-on-year) in the United
States from 1914 to 2010.
7. Inflation
Effects of Inflation
General effects:
• An increase in the general level of prices implies a decrease in the
purchasing power of the currency.
• General level of price rises, each unit currency buys fewer goods
and services.
• Inflation can not be distributed evenly in the economy.
8. Inflation
Negative effects:
• Decrease in the real value of money.
• Unpredictable inflation rates.
• Discourage investment and savings.
• Add inefficiencies in the market.
• Difficulties with budget and long-term planning for
companies.
• Hidden tax increase.
• Demand of rapid wage increase
• Causes Hyperinflations.
9. Inflation
Positive effects
• Labor market adjustments.
• Ensures the central bank to adjust nominal
interest rates
• Tobin effect, “A moderate level of inflation can
increase investment in an economy leading to
faster growth or at least higher steady state
level of income”.
10. Economic Condition of Bangladesh
Present Scenario of Bangladesh Economy:
GDP - Composition by Sector
Agriculture
18%
Service
Industry 53%
29%
12. Economic Condition of Bangladesh
Positive Growth of GDP
Exports Decreased
Imports Increased
Interest Rate Increased
13. Economic Condition of Bangladesh
• Inflation is recorded at 9.15 percent in May of
2012
14. Major causes of inflation
Excess money supply
Quantity theory of money
MV = PQ
Where
M = the nominal quantity of money
V = the velocity of money in final expenditures
P = the general price level
Q = an index of the real value of final expenditures
Unemployment
Phillips curve showed that unemployment
and inflation shared an inverse relationship
15. REASONS BEHIND INFLATION IN BANGLADESH
Inflation can happen when governments print an excess of money to deal with
a crisis. As a result, prices end up rising at an extremely high speed to keep up
with the currency surplus. This is called the demand-pull, in which prices are
forced upwards because of a high demand
Excess money borrows by Government from central bank
The overall food price
Exchange rate fluctuations
Growth of money supply
Increased inflow of workers’ remittances
17. Controlling Inflation
• Monetary policy:
High interest rates and slow growth of the money
supply are the traditional ways through which
central banks fight or prevent inflation
Keynesians emphasize reducing aggregate
demand during economic expansions and
increasing demand during recessions to keep
inflation stable.
18. Controlling Inflation
Fixed exchange rate:
• Under a fixed exchange rate currency regime, a
country's currency is tied in value to another
single currency or to a basket of other currencies
(or sometimes to another measure of
value, such as gold).
• A fixed exchange rate is usually used to stabilize
the value of a currency, vis-a-vis the currency it
is pegged to.
19. Controlling Inflation
• Wage & price control:
• Wage and price controls are regarded as a
temporary and exceptional measure, only
effective when coupled with policies designed
to reduce the underlying causes of inflation
during the wage and price control regime.
20. Controlling Inflation
Additional Policies:
• If Bangladesh could indeed bring about positive fruits
from its export of garments to India
• If the foreign remittance flow pour in regularly and
satisfactorily
• If infrastructural development is done as per plan
• If utility services, like power, gas and energy could be
ensured adequately
• If proper investment from abroad, and local
entrepreneurs could be achieved.
21. Conclusion
• We strongly feel that it is high time for the policy makers
of the government of Bangladesh and its central bank
to come forward with pro-active and forward-looking
fiscal and monetary policies and take drastic steps to
control and contain the double-digit inflation. It is an
appropriate time to enforce "austerity measures" by
cutting unproductive and administrative expenditure of
the government departments, stabilize the price level by
not increasing the energy and fuel costs.
