Interest rate Interest rate is the price demanded by the lender from the borrower for
the use of borrowed money.
In other words, interest is a fee paid by the borrower to the lender onborrowed cash as a compensation for forgoing the opportunity of earning
income from other investments that could have been made with the
loaned cash.
Thus, from the lenders perspective, interest can be thought of as an
"opportunity cost or "rent of money" and interest rate as the rate at
which interest (oropportunitycost) accumulates over a period of time.
The longer the period for which money is borrowed, the larger is the
interest (or the opportunity cost).
The amount lent is called the principal.
Interest rate is typically expressed as percentage of the principal and in
annualized terms.
From aborrowers perspective, interest rate is the cost of capital. In other
words, it is the cost that a borrower has to incur to have access to funds.

NOMINAL INTEREST RATE VS REAL INTEREST RATE
Nominal interest rates refer to the rate of interest prior to taking inflation into
account. Depending on its application, an inflation and risk premium must be added
to the real interest rate in order to obtain the nominal rate.
The Real interest rate is corrected for inflation and is calculated as the nominal interest
rate minus the rate of inflation. In the case of a loan, it is this real interest that the lender
receives as income. If the lender is receiving 8 percent from a loan and inflation is 8
percent, then the real rate of interest is zero because nominal interest and inflation are
equal. A lender would have no net benefit from such a loan because inflation fully
diminishes the value of the loan's profit.
Nominal versus real interest rate
The relationship between real and nominal interest rates can be described in the equation:real interest rate = nominal interest rate - expected inflation
In this analysis, the nominal rate is the stated rate, and the real interest rate is the interest
after the expected losses due to inflation. Since the future inflation rate can only be
estimated, so the real interest rates may be different; the premium paid to actual inflation
may be higher or lower. In contrast, the nominal interest rate is known in advance.

FACTORS AFFECTING LEVEL OF INTEREST RATES
Interest rates are typically determined by the supply of and demand
for money in the economy. If at any given interest rate, the demand
for funds is higher than supply of funds, interest rates tend to rise andvice versa. Theoretically speaking, this continues to happen as interest
rates move freely until equilibrium is reached in terms of a match
between demand for and supply of funds. In practice, however,
interest rates do not move freely. The monetary authorities in the
country (that is the central bank of the country) tend to influence
interest rates by increasing or reducing the liquidity in the system.
Broadly the following factors affect the interest rates in an economy:
1. Monetary Policy
2. Growth in the economy
3. Inflation
4. Global liquidity
5. Uncertainty

Monetary Policy- The central bank of a country controls
money supply in the economy through its monetary policy. InIndia, the RBIs monetary policy primarily aims at price stability
and economic growth. If the RBI loosens the monetary policy
(i.e., expands money supply or liquidity in the economy),
interest rates tend to get reduced and economic growth getsstimulated; at the same time, it leads to higher inflation. On the
other hand, if the RBI tightens the monetary policy, interest rates
rise leading to lower economic growth; but at the same time,
inflation gets curbed. So, the RBI often has to do a balancing act.The key policy rate the RBI uses to inject (or reduce) liquidity
from the monetary system is the repo rates (or reverse repo
rates). Changes in repo rates influence other interest rates in the
economy too.

Growth in the economyIf the economic growth of an
economy picks up momentum, then the demand for
money tends to go up, putting upward pressure on interest
rates.
InflationInflation is a rise in the general price level of
goods and services in an economy over a period of time.When the price level rises, each unit of currency can buy
fewer goods and services than before, implying a
reduction in the purchasing power of the currency. So,
people with surplus funds demand higher interest rates, asthey want to protect the returns of their investment
against the adverse impact of higher inflation. As a result,
with rising inflation, interest rates tend to rise. The
opposite happens when inflation declines.

Global liquidity
If global liquidity is high, then there is astrong chance that the domesticliquidity of any country will
also be high, which would put a downward pressure on interest
rates.
Uncertainty
If the future of economic growth isunpredictable, the lenders tend to cut down on their lending or
demand higher interest rates from individuals or companies
borrowing from them as compensation for the higher default
risks that arise at the time of uncertainties or do both. Thus,
interest rates generally tend to rise at times of uncertainty. Of
course, if the borrower is the Government of India, then the
lenders have little to worry, as the government of a country
can hardly default on its loan taken in domestic currency.

Impact of interest rates
There are individuals, companies, banks and even governments, who have to borrow
funds for various investment and consumption purposes. At the same time, there are
entities that have surplus funds. They use their surplus funds to purchase bonds or
Money Market instruments. Alternatively, they can deposit their surplus funds with
borrowers in the form of fixed deposits/ wholesale deposits.
Changes in the rate of interest can have significant impact on the way individuals or
other entities behave as investors and savers. These changes in investment and savingbehavior subsequently impact the economic activity in a country.
For example, if interest rates rise, some individuals may stop taking home loans, while
others may take smaller loans than what they would have taken otherwise, because of
the rising cost of servicing the loan. This will negatively impact home prices as demand
for homes will come down. Also, if interest rates rise, a company planning an expansionwill have to pay higher amounts on the borrowed funds than otherwise. Thus the
profitability of the company would be affected. So, when interest rates rise, companies
tend to borrow less and invest less. As the demand for investment and consumption in
the economy declines with rising interest, the economic growth slows down. On the
other hand, a decline in interest rates encourage investment spending and consumption
spending activities and the economy tends to grow faster.

LEVEL OF INTEREST RATES
Interest is the price the borrowers must pay to lenders to obtain the use of money
for a period of time. As all the other prices are determined in different markets, theequilibrium rate of interest is also determined in financial markets. Given below are
three theories about the determination of interest rates:
The Classical Theory: This Theory states that the rate of interest is determined by real
factors, namely the supply of savings and the demand for investment, the productivity
of capital goods providing the elements of demand and the peoples time preference
limiting the supply.
The Loanable Fund Theory: This theory states that the supply of savings plus the
credit creation by the financial system on the one hand, and total borrowing in the
economy on the other, determine the rate of interest.
The keynesian Theory: This theory states that the rate of interest is a reward for
parting with liquidity, and it is determined by the demand for and supply of money in
the economy.

Theory of term structure of interest rates
Interest rates are also related to the term to maturity of a security. This
relationship is often called as the term structure of interest rates or yield curve.
The term structure of interest rates compares the interest rates on securitiesassuming that all characteristics (i.e., default risk, liquidity risk) except maturities
are same.
Securities with identical default risk, liquidity, and tax characteristics may still
have different interest rates because the time remaining to maturity is different. Yield curve is a plot of the yield on securities with differing terms to maturity
but the same risk, liquidity and tax considerations.
Shape of the yield curve:
1. Usually upward-sloping
(long-term i > short-term i )
sometimes inverted
(long-term i < short-term i )
2. Flat implies short- and long-term rates are similar.

Theory of term structure of
interest rates
There are three theories that economists use to
explain the term structure of interest rates:
1) Expectations Hypothesis
2) Segmented Markets Theory
3) The Liquidity Premium (preferred habitat)
Theory.
-
7/28/2019 UNIT 2 Interest Rate Ppt
12/56
The Expectation TheoryExpectations theory, also termed expectations hypothesis, is one of
the most common economic theories of term structure. It comes in
several variations, the most widely known being the unbiased
expectations theory and it is based on the following assumptions:
There is perfect competition in the financial markets.
The investors are rational, i.e., they wish to maximise the yield of
their holding period.
Investors have perfect foresight, and a large enough body of
investors hold uniform expectations about the future level and
changes of short term interest rates & security prices.
There are no transaction costs.
Securities of different maturities are perfect substitutes for each
other, i.e., they are homogeneous.
-
7/28/2019 UNIT 2 Interest Rate Ppt

With the help of these assumptions, it is posited that todays
long term rate is the geometric mean of the current short-term
rates and the successive forward or expected one-period short-
term rates during the long term period .
It means slope of yield curve tells us direction of expected
future ST rates

Drawbacks It is doubtful whether the investor are really more
averse to capital risk than income risk.
How do we interpret yield curve?
slope due to 2 things:
(1) exp. about future ST rates
(2) size of liquidity premium
Difficult to quantify liquidity premium
By assuming risk (liquidity) premium will be mostly
positive, the theory implies that the price or interest
rates will be mostly increasing. This is questionable.
Determinants of general structure of interest rates
-
7/28/2019 UNIT 2 Interest Rate Ppt
36/56
Determinants of general structure of interest rates
Default risk: Risk that a security issuer will default on the security by missing
an interest or principal payment. All financial assets, except governments
securities are subject to some degree of default risk although they differ in their
degree of risk.
Tax status: tax features cause difference on similar financial assets or claims.
Marketability or liquidity: The financial assets differ in their marketability or
liquidity that is they differ in respect of the possibility that a significant amount
of security can be sold relatively quickly without price concessions.
Inflation: The continual increase in the price level of a basket of goods and
services.
Special Provisions: Provisions (e.g., convertibility and callability) that impact
the security holder beneficially or adversely and as such are reflected in the
interest rate on security that contains such provisions.

Monetary policy
Monetary policy is the process by which
monetary authority of a country, generally a
central bank controls the supply of money in
the economy by exercising its control overinterest rates in order to maintain price
stability and achieve high economic growth. In
India, the central monetary authority is theReserve Bank of India (RBI).

Open Market Operations
The open market operation refers to the purchase and/or sale of short term and
long term securities by the RBI in the open market. This is very effective and
popular instrument of the monetary policy. The OMO is used to wipe out
shortage of money in the money market, to influence the term and structure of
the interest rate and to stabilize the market for government securities, etc. It is
important to understand the working of the OMO. If the RBI sells securities in
an open market, commercial banks and private individuals buy it. This reduces
the existing money supply as money gets transferred from commercial banks to
the RBI. Contrary to this when the RBI buys the securities from commercial
banks in the open market, commercial banks sell it and get back the money they
had invested in them. Obviously the stock of money in the economy increases.
This way when the RBI enters in the OMO transactions, the actual stock of
money gets changed. Normally during the inflation period in order to reduce the
purchasing power, the RBI sells securities and during the recession or
depression phase it buys securities and makes more money available in the
economy through the banking system. Thus under OMO there is continuous
buying and selling of securities taking place leading to changes in the
availability of credit in an economy.

Cash Reserve Ratio
Cash Reserve Ratio is a certain percentage ofbank
deposits which banks are required to keep with RBI
in the form of reserves or balances .Higher the CRRwith the RBI lower will be the liquidity in the system
and vice-versa.RBI is empowered to vary CRR
between 15 percent and 3 percent. But as per the
suggestion by the Narshimam committee Report theCRR was reduced from 15% in the 1990 to 5 percent
in 2002. Current CRR is 4.75% percent.

Statutory Liquidity RatioEvery financial institute have to maintain a
certain amount of liquid assets from their time
and demand liabilities with the RBI. Theseliquid assets can be cash, precious metals,
approved securities like bonds etc. The ratio of
the liquid assets to time and demand liabilities
is termed as StatutoryLiquidity Ratio. There
was a reduction from 38.5% to 25% because of
the suggestion by Narshimam Committee. The
current SLR is 24%.

Bank Rate Policy
Bank rate is the rate of interest charged by the RBI for
providing funds or loans to the banking system. This banking
system involves commercial and co-operative banks, Industrial
Development Bank of India, IFC, EXIM Bank, and other
approved financial institutes. Funds are provided eitherthrough lending directly or rediscounting of bill of exchange.
Increase in Bank Rate increases the cost of borrowing by
commercial banks which results into the reduction in credit
volume to the banks and hence declines the supply of money.Increase in the bank rate is the symbol of tightening of RBI
monetary policy. Bank rate is also known as Discount rate.
The current Bank rate is 9%.

7/28/2019 UNIT 2 Interest Rate Ppt

Repo Rate and Reverse Repo Rate
Repo rate is the rate at which RBI lends to commercial banks
generally against government securities. Reduction in Repo
rate helps the commercial banks to get money at a cheaper rate
and increase in Repo rate discourages the commercial banks to
get money as the rate increases and becomes expensive.
Reverse Repo rate is the rate at which RBI borrows moneyfrom the commercial banks. The increase in the Repo rate will
increase the cost of borrowing and lending of the banks which
will discourage the public to borrow money and will
encourage them to deposit. As the rates are high theavailability of credit and demand decreases resulting to
decrease in inflation. This increase in Repo Rate and Reverse
Repo Rate is a symbol of tightening of the policy. The current
repo rate is 8% and reverse repo rate is 7%.

Fixing Margin Requirements
The margin refers to the "proportion of the loanamount which is not financed by the bank". Or in
other words, it is that part of a loan which a borrower
has to raise in order to get finance for his purpose. A
change in a margin implies a change in the loan size.This method is used to encourage credit supply for
the needy sector and discourage it for other non-
necessary sectors. This can be done by increasing
margin for the non-necessary sectors and by reducingit for other needy sectors. Example:- If the RBI feels
that more credit supply should be allocated to
agriculture sector, then it will reduce the margin and
even 85-90 percent loan can be given.

Moral Suasion
It implies to pressure exerted by the RBI on theindian banking system without any strict action for
compliance of the rules. It is a suggestion to banks. It
helps in restraining credit during inflationary periods.
Commercial banks are informed about the
expectations of the central bank through a monetary
policy. Under moral suasion central banks can issue
directives, guidelines and suggestions for commercialbanks regarding reducing credit supply for
speculative purposes.

Measures of money supply
The total supply of money in circulation in a given country'seconomy at a given time. There are several measures for the
money supply, such as M1, M2, and M3.
The money supply is considered an important instrument forcontrolling inflation by those economist who say that growthin money supply will only lead to inflation if money demand is
stable In order to control the money supply, regulators have to decide
which particular measure of the money supply to target .
The broader the targeted measure, the more difficult it will beto control that particular target. However, targeting anunsuitable narrow money supply measure may lead to asituation where the total money supply in the country is notadequately controlled.

The Demand for Money
The demand for money is affected by several factors, including the level of
income, interest rates, and inflation as well as uncertainty about the future.
The way in which these factors affect money demand is usually explainedin terms of the three motives for demanding money: the transactions, the
precautionary, and the speculative motives
Transactions motive. The transactions motive for demanding money arises
from the fact that most transactions involve an exchange of money.Because it is necessary to have money available for transactions, money
will be demanded. The total number of transactions made in an economy
tends to increase over time as income rises. Hence, as income or GDP rises,
the transactions demand for money also rises.
Precautionary motive. People often demand money as aprecaution against
an uncertain future. Unexpected expenses, such as medical or car repair
bills, often require immediate payment. The need to have money available
in such situations is referred to as the precautionary motive for
demanding money.
-
7/28/2019 UNIT 2 Interest Rate Ppt
51/56
Speculative motive:
Money, like other stores of value, is an asset. The demand for an asset depends on both
its rate of return and its opportunity cost. Typically, money holdings provide no rateof return and often depreciate in value due to inflation. The opportunity cost of holding
money is the interest rate that can be earned by lending or investing one's money
holdings. The speculative motive for demanding money arises in situations where
holding money is perceived to be less risky than the alternative of lending the money or
investing it in some other asset.
For example, if a stock market crash seemed imminent, the speculative motive for
demanding money would come into play; those expecting the market to crash would
sell their stocks and hold the proceeds as money. The presence of a speculative motive
for demanding money is also affected by expectations of future interest rates and
inflation. If interest rates are expected to rise, the opportunity cost of holding money
will become greater, which in turn diminishes the speculative motive for demanding
money. Similarly, expectations of higher inflation signify a greater depreciation in the
purchasing power of money and therefore lessen the speculative motive for demanding
money.

Money supply
Money is something that is used as a medium of exchange, a store of value
and a unit of account.
In its narrow most definition (M0) money comprises of all currency in
circulation.
M1 is all currency plus demand deposits.
Adding post office deposits to M1 we get M2.
M3 consists of currency plus demand deposits plus time deposits.
Adding post office deposits to M3 we get M4.
The Supply and Demand of Money
-
7/28/2019 UNIT 2 Interest Rate Ppt
53/56
People hold money:
To conduct transactions
For precautionary reasons, such as to meet emergencies, such as unexpectedmedical bills
As a store of value
Holding money has an opportunity cost in the sense that the money could be
invested elsewhere and earn interest. Even if the money is held in an interest-earning checking account, a higher rate of interest could be earned by purchasing
financial instruments such as bonds.
As the rate of interest goes higher, the opportunity cost of money increases. So
as interest rates go up (down), people will be less (more) willing to hold money.
The supply of money is usually determined by the Central Bank and the targeted
supply of money is not directly related to the interest rate.
A graph for the supply and demand for money, as a function of the interest rate,
would appear similar to figure 1 on the next slide..

Figure 1 The Supply and Demand for Money
Note that this demand curve assumes other relevant factors are held constant. If thequantity of goods produced increases and/or the price level increases, the demand
for money will increase. This causes the demand curve to shift to the right. If
economic activity declines and/or prices go down, then demand for money will
decrease.
Changes in the availability of financial instruments are also changing the demand for
money over time. The widespread availability of credit cards has reduced the
amount of money that households need to keep on hand.

INTEREST RATE IN INDIA- AN
INTERNATIONAL COMPARISION
The short term rate of interest in India has ususally been higher than the
similar rate in other countries, especially W Germany & Japan. There does
not exist a clear increasing or decreasing trend in the differential between
the Indian and world short term rates.
The long term rate of interest in India was mostly lower than the similar
rate in other countries till 1985. Thereafter, the long term rate in India hasbeen mostly higher than other countries.
Thus, while both the short-term and long-term interest rates abroad have
somewhat hardened in India since 1990.
Both the short-term and long-term interst rates abroad have fluctuated more
than those rates in India. The flexibility and variability of all interest rates
in other countries have been far greater than in India.The short-term rate of
interest has been more volatile than the long-term rate in all the countries
including India.
