In our latest CIO Special – Inflation and the money multiplier – we look at current inflation dynamics from a monetary perspective. We argue that:

  • Despite the recent pick-up in inflation rates, it is still difficult to see inflation as a purely monetary phenomenon
  • While broad monetary aggregates have grown, money multiplier and velocity ratios have fallen
  • Factors such as changing consumer inflation expectations could however still refocus attention on the money multiplier, given high liquidity levels

The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk.

No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved. Forecasts are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and hypothetical models which may prove to be incorrect. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Performance refers to a nominal value based on price gains/losses and does not take into account inflation. Inflation will have a negative impact on the purchasing power of this nominal monetary value. Depending on the current level of inflation, this may lead to a real loss in value, even if the nominal performance of the investment is positive.
