The topic is very nice and it throws light on APPLIED ECONOMICS.
.
Pure language of Economics is not so interesting. When it is linked with some live technical issues, it becomes interesting and easy to understand.
.
1. Our RBI is one of the best in the world in all respect of its working.
.
2. A small increase in CRR ( Cash Reserve Ratio), puts a pressure on the Banks to retain more cash in hand.
.
3. A small increase in Repo Rate affects the advance loans by the banks.
.
4. Higher the cost of capital; higher the cost of manufacturing.
.
5. Higher the manufacturing cost; lesser the public to purchase it.
.
6. Example : When cost of mobile instrument was very high; few people were there to afford it. When cost came down due to mass production, people used to avail more.
.
7. If inflow of money is high; inflation will increase.
.
8. If a person invests his money in such a way that its RETURNS beat the inflation; then only it is practically works for the investor. Otherwise PURCHASING POWER OF MONEY would be low in near future.
.
Example :
.
1. Suppose 4 years back the price of 10 gms Gold was Rs. 10,000 .
2. After four years , it is Rs.20,000.
.
If a person had put his money in Bank FDR for 10%,( assumed as very attractive when it was invested) he will be unhappy now with the returns because his value of investment has practically decreased.
