Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following can occur in an economy due to deficit financing by the government?
1. Rise in employment rates
2. Inflation
3. Increase in money supply
4. Increased private investments
Select the correct answer codeCorrect
All 1, 2, 3 and 4 are correct.
The term ‘deficit financing’ is used to denote the direct addition to gross national expenditure through budget deficits, whether the deficits are on revenue or on capital account.
Deficit financing in India is said to occur when the Union Government’s current budget deficit is covered by the withdrawal of cash balances of the government and by borrowing money from the Reserve Bank of India. Thus, in both cases, ‘new money’ comes into circulation.
It is said that deficit financing is inherently inflationary. Since deficit financing raises aggregate expenditure and, hence, increases aggregate demand, the danger of inflation looms large.
During inflation, private investors go on investing more and more with the hope of earning additional profits. The deficit financing results in an increase in government expenditure which produces a favourable multiplier effect on national income, saving, employment, etc.Incorrect
