Savings and Investment

Savings and Investment


• Savings: Funds that are not used
at the moment, balance of the
income and spending

• Investment: Resignation from


current needs in view of future
uncertain gains
Financial System and Economic
Development
Input is Man Material, Machine and Money
Money, credit and finance are life-blood of
economic system
Human and physical capital are its
important sources and increase in them
require higher and saving and investment
The economic development greatly
depends upon capital formation
There is direct relation between capital and
output
Theories of Savings and
Investment
The Classical Prior Voluntary Saving Theory
Credit Creation theory
Forced Saving or Inflationary Financing
Theory
Financial Repression Theory
Financial Liberalization Theory
Prior Savings Theory (PST)
Savings is determinant of investment
All Savings in the economy can find investment
outlets
Appropriate monetary policy and fiscal policy for
promoting and mobilizing savings for investment
and growth
Investment is an alternative to consumption
Investment which is not financed by prior savings
will generate inflation
This theory does not subscribe to the view that
inflation is needed
This theory favors reasonably positive real
interest rates to encourage savings by the public
Cont…
How to Achieve it:
Some people whose expenditure are
less then their incomes
Others whose current expenditures
exceeds their current incomes
It is achieved by ultimate savers and the
latter called the ultimate investors

Income = Consumption + Savings


Cont…
The financial intermediaries achieve
economies of scale in the cost of
transferring savings to the investors
through pooling of default risk and
reducing transaction cost
Financial institutions help development
also by creating a efficient payments
and transfer mechanism
Credit Creation Theory
In this theory financial system
plays a positive and catalytic role
by providing finance or credit
through creation of credit in
anticipation of savings
The investment is financed

through created credit

Theory of Forced Savings
This theory emphasize on investment with forced
savings
According to Keynes and Tobin, investment is not
determined by savings, it is savings which are
determined by investment
If the resources are unemployed it would
increase aggregate demand, output and savings
If resources are fully employed, it will generate
inflation which will lower the real rat of return on
financial investments, which will make real
balances less attractive to hole and induce
holder to investment physical capital
Cont…
Inflation changes income
distribution in favor of profits earner
, which would lead to increase in
savings
Inflation imposes tax on real money
balances and thereby transfer
resources to the Government for
financing investment, this known as
Inflation Tax Effect
Limitations and dangers
 This concept of forced saving present inflation as a
desirable phenomenon, which in real life, people fear
inflation
 The alleged beneficial efforts of inflation can be
repeated only if, inflation is unanticipated, while in real
life, the public anticipate inflation to significant extent
 Inflation can induce undesirable pattern of investment
 Inflation means greater economic instability and,
therefore, greater uncertainty and risk which can
discourage investment activity
 Inflation may result in the reduction of exports, lower
foreign exchange availability, adverse balance of
payments and lower growth
 Inflation may increase forced savings but it may
discourage voluntary savings
Financial Regulation Theory
Financial markets are prone to market
failures
There are certain forms of government
intervention that will make then function
better
The lower interest rates through government
intervention improves the average quality of
loan applications and improves the efficiency
Lending to sectors which are usually
shunned by the market
Cont…
Conventionally, it is assumed that within any nation
economy, there is a perfect capital mobility and
interest rates across regions are equalized by the
interregional arbitrage
In practice market imperfections capital does not
flow freely in the market across carious regions
This creates a scope for financial market intervention
to positively to affect regional development by
correcting original misdistribution of capital
The policy can help here by increasing the direct
Ventral and state government investments in local
economies
Financial Liberalization
Theory
Financial liberalization for promoting
financial and economic development
According to McKinnon and Show, the
developing countries are characterized by
the government intervention and
interference in the financial system
 These countries suffer from poor
performance in respect of saving,
investment and growth due to financial
control, regulation, repression by authorities
Cont…
The indicators of financial repression:
The existence of indiscriminate distortions in
financial prices such as interest rates and
exchange rates
Imposition of interest rates ceiling or fixing
nominal interest rates administratively
resulting in low or negative real interest rates
Prescribing high reserve ratios
Instituting directed credit programmes
Inefficient quantitative credit rationing
Cont…
Why Financial Liberalization
The elimination of financial repression
through financial liberalization,
deregulation, privatization is essential to
eliminate all the ill effects and distortion,
and to put developing economies on high
saving, high investment, and high growth
path.
Cont…
Financial liberalization would result in
Increase in interest rates on variety of
financial asses as they would adjust to their
competitive free-market equilibrium level
Increasing in saving, reduction in the
holding of real assets
Expansion in the supply of real credit
Increase in investment
Increase in allocative efficiency of
investment
