Lower prices and real
wages are important not the inflation and nominal wages and incomes because it
is the actual (real) purchasing power which is important for spending,
government would also have to spend less if prices are low, deficit would be
low. Lower prices would also increase real savings and investment spending...
If policy makers commit
lower prices in the long run it could increase spending even if income is fixed
due to wage rigidity and lower borrowing cost would help increase supply and
lower prices further...
They should let
demand/supply/price/unemployment/employment/investment increase-fall upto zero
real interest rate and zero nominal interest rate 0=0 which is the limit for
full investment employment or full employment of capital and labour, too, it
would help demand/supply adjustments at a higher level, at which we could
achieve full-employment and price stability and full growth...
If they want to achieve
growth they might commit lower prices, interest rate cuts and/or tax cuts...
We cannot deny that
higher prices also increase supply and in the absence of exact data on demand
investment and employment might increase demand and supply and help keep price
stable would help equalize demand and supply...
There is a constant
adjustment in demand/supply/prices/unemployment/investment/employment to
achieve the natural real rate of interest at which there is neither inflation
nor deflation and there are price stability and full employment and full
investment and full growth based on automation/innovation and the population
growth rate which might further reduce price-level and increase demand and
supply and the economic growth rate and the global growth rate...
****If
foreign investment is allowed despite inflation and expectations, why domestic
investors hold? There are no external capital controls... INDIA has enough
foreign exchange reserves; currency is going strong hurting exports... A rate
cut would boost both domestic investment and depreciation and exports...
Monetary Policy is not consistent to achieve the underlying objective,
growth...
