Figure 11.5 Inflation and Money Growth in the Long Run examines annual growth rates based on observing the money supply and the price level at five-year intervals. The first observation is the annual growth rate for the period starting in January 1959 and ending in January 1964.omparing these two figures, you can see that the relationship between money growth and inflation is much tighter when we examine five-year periods, as in Figure 11.5 Inflation and Money Growth in the Long Run , rather than the monthly changes in Figure 11.4 Inflation and Money Growth in the Short Run .
A. Inflation is the rate of increase in the general price level, so a 10% inflation rate means prices overall are 10% higher than a year ago. Interest rates are the cost of borrowing, or the price of money. A 10% interest rate is the return a saver will get, or the amount a borrwer will have to pay, over a year. There are many ways of thinking about the link between interest rates and inflation. The easiest is the one used by the Bank of England.
