China's announcement will likely affect interest rates quite dramatically in that banks will have more cash on hand to help pad their balance sheets while the money supply stays relatively low. This helps to keep the potential for inflation low, where interest rates begin to rise. As long as there is less money to be lent, or in effect, more money tied up within the banking system that cannot be lent to borrowers, the interest rates will likely remain relatively low (McConnell, Brue, and Flynn, 2008). This helps to combat inflation, or the potential for inflation since other economies like the United States have been printing money to help boost their own economies. These actions by the U.S. will likely result in inflation since the money supply has been increased to levels where interest rates are no longer able to be held at low levels. The Chinese, in making their announcement, are in effect working against the U.S. economic interests. The Chinese are continuing to keep their currency devalued in the face of overseas demands. This helps to boost internal growth, GDP, economic strength, and keep the potential for inflation and higher interest rates low.
Since the money multiplier (mm) is a reciprocal of the bank's reserves (R), the effect of the Chinese announcement will undoubtedly effect the mm directly (McConnell, Brue, and Flynn, 2008). The spending and investment multipliers within the Chinese economy will be affected because when the banks have less money to lend and higher deposit rates, they keep interest rates low and liquidity relatively low as well. This encourages real growth, not the kind of credit-driven growth that the U.S. experienced shortly before the economic meltdown of 2008. Since the money multiplier and interest rates affect other sectors of the economy like the MPS and MPC, just to name two, the results of such an announcement are profound indeed.
The Chinese MPC, or marginal propensity to consume is much less when less money is being lent out due to higher deposit requirements (McConnell, Brue, and Flynn, 2008). This is not something that will affect the Chinese like it would the U.S. economy, which is largely...
Under the arrangement, moreover, a country with efficient production and a favored competitive position (including as enhanced by new capital goods) is rewarded with rising income and reduced unemployment. No grand scheme of state or international planning and direct control is required. Exchange rates are for the most part fixed under the classical gold-flows mechanisms (say, $/£ const. within fixed limits), as stated, and adjustments to trade imbalances
