A general relationship between credit and economic growth can be shown using the income version of the Quantity Theory of Money. The theory can be expressed by a formula. Which one of the formula below is correct?

QV = PI
QT = Py
MV = Py
MT = Py

Correct Answer

A. MV = Py

Explanation

The correct formula is MV = Py. This formula represents the Quantity Theory of Money, where M represents the money supply, V represents the velocity of money (how quickly money circulates in the economy), P represents the price level, and y represents real output or income. The formula states that the money supply multiplied by the velocity of money is equal to the price level multiplied by real output or income. This relationship suggests that an increase in the money supply or the velocity of money can lead to inflation or an increase in the price level, which can impact economic growth.

If credit growth is excessive, it will lead to a high money supply. This can result in two likely outcomes. Firstly, if the output is not able to meet the higher aggregate demand, it can lead to higher inflationary pressure. Secondly, high inflation demands a higher interest rate, which in turn discourages investment and reduces the real income of the population. Therefore, the correct answer is I & III.
