The level of interest rates in a free market economy are
primarily determined by the rate of inflation, the demand for
money, and the actions of the Federal Reserve. Lenders of money
will generally demand what is known as a nominal interest rate
which is equal to a real interest rate plus a premium to cover the
inflation rate. The real, or inflation adjusted interest rate, is
the percentage rate of return to a lender as measured by an
increase in purchasing power.
Yale professor Irving Fisher's economic theory of interest rates
laid the conceptual groundwork for establishing that the nominal
interest rate equals the real interest rate plus the anticipated
rate of inflation. Fisher's mathematical equations in his theory of
interest rates are supported by empirical data. A comparison of
comparable maturity U.S. Treasury securities, one of which has a
fixed rate and the other an inflation adjusted rate, shows that the
nominal interest rate always exceeds the real interest rate.
A consumer, whether a borrower or a saver, will generally be
quoted a nominal interest rate by a bank on a loan or a savings
account.
