Interest Rates
Monetary policy attempts to stabilise the economy by controlling interest rates and the supply and availability of money. The Government has set the Bank of England an inflation target to keep the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) at 2%. By increasing the short-term interest rate, monetary policy is said to be tightened to bring inflation down. By decreasing the short-term rate, monetary policy is said to be loosened to stimulate inflation.
In this video, we take a look at how interest rates can impact different types of investments. This is a key concept you will need to understand before you take your R01 or R02 exam.
