does any one know the inflation rates from november 2005 in the uk?
The current inflation rate in the UK is 4.75%. This has remained fairly constant for the last couple of years. However there was a 0.25% rise in August 2006. From August 2005 the inflation base rate was 4.50%.
Try the website below for some more information.
Hope this helps.

Why the inflation rates world wide became lower in the 2000%26#039;s?
Please give me a few reasons.
I think this started already in the 1990s when central banks became more independent of governments and began adopting formal, public inflation targets with the goal of making the process of monetary policy more effective and transparent.
Central banks try to reach these targets by influencing interest rates which expands or contracts the monetary base.
This only works when exchange rates are kept floating and do not depend on government induced devaluations and pegs.
Interests rates are just one of many things that affect inflation. If interest rates are low, people are more likely to borrow money to buy things. When more people are buying, manufacturers, distributors and stores are more likely to increase prices. Things are selling, so they can raise the price and make more money. When interest rates are high, people are less likely to borrow money to buy things because their payments increase with higher interest. Sales slow down. When sales are low, prices are less likely to increase because higher prices would reduce sales even more.
I wish I knew........ I wish I knew..........
don%26#039;t know
I guess because if its a higher interest rate for borrowing will create inflation, the more money you have to pay to get loans, that is passed on to the consumer. Business%26#039;s get loans just like regular people, they pass the cost onto the consumer, But there are many ways that inflation is caused, like the falling dollar, not enough supply to meet demand etc..
Don%26#039;t no (i%26#039;m 15yrs old)
maybe, the higher the interest rate, the more money is paid so therefore more money being in circulation.
Consequently, more money being around devalues the money so inflation rises....?
Hope its right
Inflation is measured as the growth of the money supply in an economy, without a commensurate increase in the supply of goods and services. This results in a rise in the general price level as measured against a standard level of purchasing power. There is a variety of inflation measures in use, related to different price indices, because different prices affect different people. Two widely known indices for which inflation rates are commonly reported are the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures nominal consumer prices, and the GDP deflator, which measures the nominal prices of goods and services produced by a given country or region.
Mainstream economists%26#039; views on the causes of inflation can be broadly divided into two camps: the %26quot;monetarists%26quot; who believe that monetary effects dominate all others in setting the rate of inflation, and the %26quot;Keynesians%26quot; who believe that the interaction of money, interest rates and output dominate other effects. Keynesians also tend to add a capital-goods (or asset) price inflation to the standard measure of consumption-goods inflation. Other theories, such as those of the Austrian school of economics, believe that inflation results when central-banking authorities increase the money supply (Monetary inflation).
In one sentence, the higher inflation, the pricier things are, the more interest rates go up.
Easy - think about how interest rates effect the supply of money in the economy. If they raise the interest rates, there is less money out there .... it costs more to borrow it. ..... however, if they lower interest rates, it makes it easier for people to borrow .... and thus more money out there.
Tie this to inflation based on the amount of dollars chasing the amount of goods. If everyone is packing hundreds, then prices will go up (inflation will go up). If no one has money, then prices will go down ..... eventually ..... and inflation will go down.
Hope this helps!
My observation - and I%26#039;m not an economist - is that as spending increases so retailers increase their prices until they reach some resistance level from the consumer and they start being more cautious about spending. This is essentially inflation. Governments - always greedy for more cash then increase interest rates making credit more expensive so retailers stop raising their prices and inflation goes down. I think...
According to Terry Savage on Chicago Tonight last night, if the dollar continues to slide the yields on long term Treasury bonds will fall and the price of bonds will rise. The fed has been playing with the %26#039;fed funds rate%26#039; (overnight rate) since Greenspan was appointed by Reagan in an attempt to prevent inflation. Greenspan has been credited for the low interest rates of the nineties. Some people are now blaming him for the poor real estate market because the prices of homes became inflated as more and more people were able to get financing with low interest rates. These people normally would never have bought homes. Now they cannot afford their payments. They are foreclosing. Banks are writing off bad loans. Credit is tight. The U.S. can%26#039;t attract foreign investment in the dollar anymore. We are all screwed.
Now what was it that Chewey said??
thanks a lot
Do you mean as the unemployment rate declines?
There is a short-term trade off, known as the Phillips Curve, between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate. This, like I said, is a short-run effect only and only occurs when the shock to the economy is from the demand side. When there%26#039;s a supply-side shock like a rise in the price of oil, you will see there%26#039;s no trade off: both unemployment and inflation may rise.
On MyEssays.com you can buy an essay that I wrote about this subject in 2002.
I understand the basics, lower interest rates=higher inflation, higher interest rates=lower inflation. But is it possible to have high inflation, and high interest rates? Thanks for the answers.
Absolutely. A real life example of this is the New Zealand (NZ) economy. Inflation has surpassed the legislated standards for price stability under the Polci Targets Agreement, %26quot;inflation must be kept between 1 to 3 per cent inflation in the medium term%26quot;. Although inflation has been slightly over 3% in the last half a decade, non-tradeable inflation has averaged 4.2% over the period.
Tradeable inflation is the inflation on goods and services that have imorted substitutes to compete with them, forcing domestic producers to compete with the world price. Tradeable inflation in NZ had averaged around 0.5%, with deflation during two years in the period. Non-tradeable inflation, such as real estate, has remained high.
The central bank of NZ, or the Reserve bank of NZ (RBNZ), has continually increased the Official Cash Rate (OCR) [wholesale interest rates] to curb consumtpion and investment, thus theoretically decreasing inflation.
However, since the NZ economy has the second highest long-term interest rates in the OECD (1st is Turkey), foreign savers wish to deposit their money into NZ banks. They demand NZ dollars (NZD), which causes the NZD to apreciate. The appreciation of the dollar leads to increased inmports, as they are now relatively cheaper in terms of NZD. The result is a net increase in consumption, so increasing interest rates to control inflation is actually causing inflation to increase.
Absolutely; in fact, it is almost inevitable. If investors are to get any real return on their money, the interest rate must exceed the inflation rate.
It is possible. Interest rate is just a monetary policy tool that Central Bank can use to target or control price level. We cant say lower interest rates=higher inflation, higher interest rates=lower inflation but what we can is %26quot;raising ineterest rates%26quot; help lower inflation and vice verca.
Yes, it is possible to have high inflation and high interest rates. I think this actually happened during the %26#039;70s in the US.
High inflation can put pressure on interest rates to rise. Lenders want to make sure they don%26#039;t lose money on their investments. For example, if the inflation rate is 8% a year and the interest rate is only 4% a year, that will discourage people from lending money (thereby putting upward pressure on interest rates because there is less money out there available for borrowing) because instead of gaining 4% a year in interest by lending money, they would actually be losing 4% due to the inflation rate being greater than the interest rate. That sort of difference between the interest rate and inflation would also encourage people to borrow because the money they borrow would be worth more than the money they have to pay back (and a greater demand for borrowing puts upward pressure on interest rates).
Basically, inflation can make anything more expensive, and that includes the cost of borrowing money.
Recently I have picked up Peter Lynch%26#039;s %26quot;Learn to Earn%26quot; book. He talks about a market multiple in the book and does a cross study of Nike and J%26amp;J and says that the market multiple was more than what J%26amp;J%26#039;s PE was. Where can I find up to the minute or whatever market multiples? Also, Where could I find inflation rates as well. I know that they are based upon the Consumer Price Index but I am not educated enough to figure it out based upon that. Thirdly, since I am in the education stage of stock investing, I would like to know if anybody can recommend a stock market simulator game that doesnt coincide with the real market but is simulated for the sake of learning at a faster pace than waiting for the markets. If I could find a game that does correspond to the markets that would be nice as well. Of course I am looking for free games and no money involved. (Just thought I would make that clear) Thanks for the info
I found a game for you, but I have to have more time to find the other things you wanted..good luck%26gt;%26gt;
