Lauri. I`d like U to draw Ur attention to the fact that the inflationrates tripled in just one year. Vertical axis show the rates, horizontal – time. They soared and reached their peak in 2009. After that there was a sharp fall and the rates levelled out from May till October. And have shown a downward trend ever since.
Pangad laenasid palju raha välja (kõrge riskiga ettevõtetesse), kohalikud elanikud võtsid palju laene (nagu Eestis) -> inimestel oli palju raha käes, palju raha ringluses ja see tõi kaasa inflatsiooni. Inflatsioon ehk kõrged hinnad tingisid pankadel kõrged hoiuseintressid -> kõrged intressid tõid kohale välishoiustajad (Inglismaalt).
