Loanable Funds Market

The Loanable Funds Market

  • An interest rate of 50%
    • BAD for BORROWERS
    • GOOD for SELLERS
  • The loanable funds market is the private sector supply and demand of loans 
    • Brings together those that want to lend money (savers) and those who want to borrow (firms with investment spending projects) 
Shows the Effect on Real Interest Rate
  • Demand: Inverse relationship between real interest rate and quantity loans demanded
  • Supply: Direct relationship between real interest rate and quantity loans supplied
  • NOT the same as the money market
  • Supply is not vertical 
Prime Rate
  • The interest rate that banks charge their most credit worth customers
