Question
State the effect of inflation on creditors.
Answer in Brief
Solution
- Inflation has a negative effect on creditors. When inflation develops, the money creditors receive back from borrowers has less purchasing power than when it was first lent.
- This means that the actual worth of money declines over time, and creditors essentially lose a portion of the value of their loans as a result of rising prices, because the money repaid to them buys less goods and services than it would have before inflation.
