Inflation

Prices of nearly all goods and services have moved in recent history. Inflation is the process of rising prices or, what is the same thing - a fall in the value of money. Each of us is becoming adjusted to inflation.

At the beginning a rising price level may not be considered dangerous. It improves the climate for investment, reduces payments of the National Debt.

The problem, however, is that when the rise in prices starts, it is difficult to stop it. Gradually the rate of inflation increases, it may lead to hyperinflation.

Inflation reduces the standard of living of persons dependent on fixed incomes, as pensioners. But on the other hand it is easier to pay debts. Not all the prices are rising. Even during rather rapid inflation some prices may be constant and others even fall.

Inflation may occur for many different reasons. Traditionally changes in the price level have been explained by an excess of total demand. The essence of this kind of inflation may be expressed in the phrase «too much money chasing too few goods».

Money and banking

Banks are as likely as any other business to suffer the consequences of an economic recession. Their business customers will suffer from falling sales and losses which will reflect in a surge of bad debts as business loans fail to be repaid. Their private customers are unlikely to fare better. For them the problem becomes redundancy and meeting the normal household bills.

The problem is compounded because banking is becoming increasingly international. The banks' customers are not confined to these shores. They are spread across the world. Even the resources of a giant banking group like Midland or National Westminster are not enough to finance oil exploration or the development of satellite communication systems and this explains the growth of banking consortia. Banks from all the developed countries of the world join forces to supply the capital required for some of the most ambitious (and risky) projects. Unless these international ventures are successful the banks are faced with the problem of collecting debts from customers in countries which are often politically unstable.
