The Monetary Policy Committee have at their disposal 2 methods of monetary policy 1. Interest Rates, 2. Money Supply 1. Interest rate GENERAL INFO The interest rates determine the profit earned from savings and the cost of a loan. The US rate is 2% at the moment, so your savings in the US probably give you a profit of 1.5% per year If you borrowed money from a bank you would probably pay around 2.5% per year. HOW IT WORKS The interest rate directly affects the disposable income of a consumers (income - tax - bills). An increase in interest rates makes savings more profitable and makes loans more costly. AN INCREASE (DECREASE) IN INTEREST RATES WILL DECREASE (INCREASE) CONSUMER SPENDING 2. Money supply Money supply can be defined in to ways. The amount of your currency in circulation (eg the total money that can be accessed by members of your population. Or the total value of every printed note in circulation (includes foreign countries). Money supply works with interest rates to maintain equilibrium. EG. When you increase interest rates, you reduce the demand for money. In this instance the demand for money is less than the supply of money. In order to restore equilibrium, the government must withdraw money from circulation (buy selling bonds) thus reducing money supply
