Question
Consider the following statements :
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
- Inflation benefits the debtors.
- Inflation benefits the bond-holders.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
Inflation redistributes wealth from creditors to debtors i.e., lenders suffer and borrowers benefit out of inflation.
Bondholders = this person has lent money (to debtors) and received bonds in return.
So he is a lender, he suffers, by the way, they haven’t specifically used the word – “inflation-indexed bonds”, hence we cannot say inflation benefits the bond-holders.
