My textbook says that high inflation “reduces the confidence of businesses and they are less likely to invest. This reduces employment opportunities and has an adverse effect on economic growth” ocr gcse economics
Please can you explain how it reduces businesses confidence because it also says that “a low r8 of inflation may act as an incentive for businesses to invest as they will be able to increase their prices and profits” Thanks
Hey Timi,
This is because high inflation means that prices are higher which discourages firms from investing and expanding. But, low interest rates mean that it is cheaper to borrow hence encouraging investment and growth.
