and definitions bank. Inflation is generally defined as a persistent increase in the
average price level in the economy

This indicates that a tightening monetary policy is a reasonable
Developing analytical measure to steer the economy. In this policy, the ECB will increase
interest rates in order to promote saving and discourage
structure borrowing. This should lead to a decrease in Germany’s aggregate
demand and hence decrease the country’s GDP.

21. Interest rates are the factor reward households gain from saving

interest rates in order to promote saving and discourage
structure borrowing. This should lead to a decrease in Germany’s aggregate
demand and hence decrease the country’s GDP.
On the other hand, controlling interest rates is considered to be the
most effective way of managing aggregate demand and also the
Evaluative Skills best to combat inflation. Since in Germany the inflation rate
exceeds the ECB’s target of ‘close to but below 2 percent’ it is
necessary to take action. Lastly, there is always a time lag
between the implementation of a policy and the showing of first
changes in the real life situation. Even though this span of time is
relatively short compared to, for example, fiscal policies that try to
steer the economy by adjusting government spending. As interest
rates affect both individuals and companies immediately, they will
consider redistributing the spending of their disposable income
quite soon.

In order to combat the recession resulting from the worldwide
Examples and Case financial crisis in the late 2000s the European Central Bank (ECB)
Studies has kept interest rates at a record low of 1 percent since May 2009.
Now, the German inflation rate is seen steady at 2.1 percent which
led the ECB to signal that it will raise interest rates.
