LOANABLE FUNDS MARKET
The loanable funds market is where savers and borrowers exchange funds at the real interest rate (r%)
- demand for loanable funds, or borrowing, comes from households, firms, government, and the foreign sector. The demand for loanable funds is, the supply of bonds
- supply of loanable funds, or savings, comes from households, firms, government, and the foreign sector the supply of loanable funds is also the demand for bonds
Demand for loanable funds = borrowing (supplying bonds) , changes in the demand for loanable funds occur when there is:
- More borrowing = more demand for loanable funds
- ex: government deficit spending = more borrowing = more demand for loanable funds, therefore r% increases
- Less borrowing = less demand for loanable funds
- ex: less investment demand = less borrowing = less demand for loanable funds, r% decreases
supply of loanable funds = saving (demand for bonds), changes in the supply of loanable funds occur when:
- More saving = more supply of loanable funds
- ex: government budget surplus = more saving = more supply of loanable funds, and r% decreases
- Less saving = less supply of loanable funds
- ex: decrease in consumers' MPS = less saving = less supply of loanable funds, and r% increases
