Keeping money idle on home, or on land or on gold is not an real investment. This is nothing but savings. That’s all.
Real investment means creating movable and immovable assets so as to helping manufacturing goods. It determining the revenue of nation, expenses of consumers, industrial investment, government expenses, export / import. Among these investment in the second one is highly fluctuated.
-Normal days, the price on consumable things is highly fluctuated.
-Government expenditure is also stipulated under control.
-Export Import will be depends upon the comparative advantage of the country.
-Industrial investment only be varied in huge volume in a year.
If the growth in economy is better, investors who investing in new trends will be more. Now the universal trends in a better way stimulates the investors to invest in companies. Small companies also develop their office area for their feasibility. New equipment may be bought for their industries. Larger companies are going abroad to purchase machines for their companies.
Second thing is, investment on goods and the requisite interest for borrowings will be the criteria for measuring the size of investment. If the bank raises the interest the number of investors will be dwindled because it is unhealthy to the industries.
Now a days if we reading news paper, we can see the commodities hike and inflation, cash reserve ratio, rate of bank interest etc., If the consumer price index is raised by 6.5% the price of the consumer goods are raised to $106.5. In order to calculate the price index the commodities which are accountable of food products, daily usage products, long term usage products, fuel products. Hence price of these products and its fluctuation is calculated for CPI.
Why price of consumer goods are hiking?. Due to the demand of products are raised or reduction in production of goods. Demand means consumer product, investment, government expenditure, and export.
If the reserve bank raises interest to other banks they in turn will raise interest to the loans availed by consumers, industries. So, investors curb their expenses and come forward to invest. By this, demand of consumer products will be automatically reduced and in turn the price of consumer products also reduced and ultimately the inflation come down.
For instance, if the deposit $100 is received by bank, $6 will keep and $94 offer for loan, because, it will facilitate to refund if the depositor wants to withdrawn their amount . Normally all depositors don’t want to withdrawn their amount at a stretch. Hence $94 will be issued as loan by the bank.
Just like the CRR is fixed by the Reserve bank. If it needs to reduce the loan for industries/investment then the CRR should be raised by 6% to 7% or more which leads reduction in demand.
This are all the criteria for country economy. So real investment is imperative for growth of country economy.
