Al noor I talked about the consumers, and producers and investors and what effects inflation would have on their spending, saving, borrowing. Also mentioned people on fixed incomes and others with wages adjusted to inflation, etc.

what did u write for the 10marks question abt the saving,spending and borrowing??

ohh that!like if inflation goes up than spending decreases as products become more expensive and the purchasing power diminishes and also consumers become less certain about the future.I wrote its opposite effect as well that if inflation goes down spending would increase cuz..........for saving i wrote if inflation goes up than saving increases as firstly consumers will want to save money till the prices decrease and also normally a high inflation brings with high intrest rates so now they find it more profitable to save so saving increases.

ohh that!like if inflation goes up than spending decreases as products become more expensive and the purchasing power diminishes and also consumers become less certain about the future.I wrote its opposite effect as well that if inflation goes down spending would increase cuz..........for saving i wrote if inflation goes up than saving increases as firstly consumers will want to save money till the prices decrease and also normally a high inflation brings with high intrest rates so now they find it more profitable to save so saving increases.

OMG i wrote the same answer  :D....and what did u say abt borrowing??

me too^^ for borrowing I said investors would borrow less because of unstable economy due to price flutuations-however, if inflation was only small, it wouldn't affect that much.

You can approach borrowing in 2 ways.I had only 2 minutes to complete that part so i wrote that a high inflation brings with it a high intrest rate so borrowing would decrease as a result.A inflation would mean a high rise in prices so it will be futile to borrow in such a expensive era.etc etc.

however you also write that borrowing could increase as people will want more to satisfy their basic needs who are much expensive than before..get it

I'm sure it won't be-similar difficulty to previous years-maybe a bit higher because of the econ. growth question-but you have to remember that the people discussing on this site are usually academic so of course it's gonna sound like the thresholds are higher-you'll be fine im sure :)
