  1. AP Macroeconomics The Loanable Funds Market

  2. Loanable Funds Market • The market where savers and borrowers exchange funds (QLF) at the real rate of interest (r%). • The demand for loanable funds, or borrowing comes from households, firms, government and the foreign sector. The demand for loanable funds is in fact the supply of bonds. • The supply of loanable funds, or savings comes from households, firms, government and the foreign sector. The supply of loanable funds is also the demand for bonds.

  4. Changes in the Demand for Loanable Funds • Remember that demand for loanable funds = borrowing (i.e. supplying bonds) • More borrowing = more demand for loanable funds () • Less borrowing = less demand for loanable funds () • Examples • Government deficit spending = more borrowing = more demand for loanable funds .: DLF .: r%↑ • Less investment demand = less borrowing = less demand for loanable funds .: DLF.: r%↓

  5. Increase in the Demand for Loanable Funds r% SLF r1 r DLF 1 DLF QLF q q1 DLF .: r% ↑ & QLF↑

  6. Decrease in the Demand for Loanable Funds r% SLF r r1 DLF DLF 1 QLF q1 q DLF .: r% ↓ & QLF ↓

  7. Changes in the Supply of Loanable Funds • Remember that supply of loanable funds = saving (i.e. demand for bonds) • More saving = more supply of loanable funds() • Less saving = less supply of loanable funds () • Examples • Government budget surplus = more saving = more supply of loanable funds .: SLF .: r%↓ • Decrease in consumers’ MPS = less saving = less supply of loanable funds .: SLF.: r%↑

  8. Increase in the Supply of Loanable Funds r% SLF SLF 1 r r1 DLF QLF q q1 SLF .: r% ↓ & QLF↑

  9. Decrease in the Supply of Loanable Funds SLF 1 r% SLF r1 r DLF QLF q q1 SLF .: r% ↑ & QLF ↓

  10. Final thoughts on Loanable Funds • Loanable funds market determines the real interest rate (r%). • Loanable funds market relates saving and borrowing. • Changes in saving and borrowing create changes in loanable funds and therefore the r% changes. • When government does fiscal policy it will affect the loanable funds market. • Changes in the real interest rate (r%) will affect Gross Private Investment
