Overview of the Australian Economy

Discuss about the Australian Dollar Inflation and Deflation.

The Australian economy is a service-based economy with over 65% of the country’s gross domestic product(GDP) originating from the service sector (Kramer,2017). Nevertheless, mining and agriculture account for about 5% of the Australian GDP which reflects over 60% of the country’s export, this makes the Australian dollar (AUD) highly sensitive to decreases and increases commodity prices especially gold as the country is the third largest exporter of gold to the global market (Rojas-Suarez,2015). The country has a unique exposer to the Asian markets especially China which arguably challenging the USA as the largest global economy  (Chang, & Li, 2017). Its unique relationships with Asian markets and other essential to its economy, make AUD prone to inflation and deflation (Grinin,& Korotayev,2018). However, its historically strong domestic consumptions in times of global economic slowdown assisted the country in weathering the Asian financial crisis. Regardless of this, Australian currency has still been affected constantly by inflation and deflation that has had and continues to show relevant effects its economy. Inflation could simply be described as the constant increase in the price of goods and services resulting to increase in the cost of living. It’s generally illustrated by an increase in demand for goods while their availability or supply is unsustainable Inflation is measured by the change of consumer price index(CPI) and inflation rate (Regnier, 2017). The price of goods bought today will have a decrease in quantity at the same price tomorrow. This means that inflation generally reduces the purchasing power of a currency per unit money (Calvo, 2017). On the other hand, we have deflation which is the opposite of inflation. It is described as the economic occurrence where money becomes less available without any effect of the normal production an economy has, leading to the reduction of prices of goods and services, an extend case of deflation of a currency will generally lead to reduced production and increase in unemployment. During the early ages of industrialization, the economist at the time considered inflation to be the most challenging macroeconomic factor. This is due to the fact that the rise in net prices occurred on frequent occasions between the 1950s and late 80s.

For Australia’s situation, it was perceptible amid the 1950s that, in times of business cycle downturn, costs quit rising yet didn’t really fall. This was rather than the pre-World War II encounter, where value levels fell amid retreats (Calvo, 2016). By the second 50% of the 1960s, it was much clearer that the value level had obtained a determined upward pattern, and around that time it ended up typical to take a gander at the value level in its first distinction frame as opposed to its level. However, everything changed with the all-time high 20%inflation that nearly destroyed the economy, monetary policies were created for the purpose of curbing Australia’s inflation-deflation in the 70s.Inflation continued to the subdue the global economy for a decade up to the the1990s (Anderson, Bordo & Duca, 2017).

The Unique Relationship of the Australian Dollar to Export Industry

The ensuing decade has been a time of low inflation globally. Most as of late, with a worldwide business cycle downturn, inflation all around has declined further and is as of now low to minimal in many spots. So, it is normal to ask whether, after an age agonizing over inflation, we may be looked with deflation. Surely the word ‘deflation’ is utilized with considerably more prominent recurrence than it has been for quite a while. Its utilization, as a rule, invokes some dubious thought of the Great Depression, which was the last time a broad emptying occurrence. So, it merits in looking at this in more detail. I need initially to be clear what we mean by empty, at that point to ask whether it is in reality happening (Watanabe & Watanabe,2018). At that point I need to get some information about it and assuming this is the case, what we may do to counter it This paper will discuss the Australian dollar inflation and deflation while reviewing it current literature. Later in this paper research analysis will be conducted while making a comparison to the Bangladesh currency.

The rigs of the word inflation can be credited to linguistics of the early days; the Latins “to blow into”. It credits it understanding accurately as the irregular increase in prices regardless of changes in relative scarcity which has been occurring throughout over the centuries. without success, Diocletian attempted to check inflation in Roman during the fourth century. The typical cost for basic items in medieval Europe climbed fourfold; in the vicinity of 1520 and 1650, costs again ascended in the vicinity of 200 and 400 for each penny, to a great extent because of gold filling Europe from the recently opened mines of the New World. In numerous cases, inflation was, in any case, trailed by resulting times of deflation (Apergis,2014). Diocletian in his quest to contain inflation was not convinced of how the measures he took gave poor results. He resulted in fixing prices of crucial and essentials items and gave a death penalty to anyone who sold such goods at their own prices (Dillon, 2014). This is a good example of price controls but it inevitably failed.

Bryan contradicts the earlier understanding of inflation by shifting the focus from prices to the physical tangible paper money by offering solutions through monetary policies. However many scholars don’t fully agree with his argument since an increase on the complex world economy is literally governed by the change of prices of goods and services (Wray,2015).He  also further shifts in meaning that has increased its complication mostly for the anti-inflation advocates by stating that a price outcome is essentially described by a word that  initially explained a monetary cause or challenge . as a state of the availability of money in an economy, currency inflation has but on major origin, a country’s; central bank and one arrangement – a less sweeping cash development rate. Be that as it may, as a state of the value level, which may have begun from a variety of thing, the answer for and the reasonability of wiping out inflation is significantly less clear. However, the continues to show that the dominance and a further understanding of inflation originated in the late 1830s specifically during the civil war in the United States which affected British colonies such as Australia and Bangladesh. Banks during that era issued bank notes which they illustrated a specific amount of precious metal that was redeemable through a specific unit of the private paper currency. Occasionally, banks did not have these precious metals such as gold and silver as they depreciated since their availability did not much equally with the private currency issued. As this situation continued to occur severally, the rise of inflation came to be but not as the irregularity or interference in price levels but due to something affecting the paper currency. Ironically these precious metals are still used to back our currencies based on increased complexities in a business environment in case of a major global crisis such as the 2007/2008 financial crisis (Pentecôte, & Rondeau,2015). However, their capability and faith in these metals were almost crushed by the strong emergence and adaption of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin in the year 2017 (Ciaian, & Rajcaniova, 2016).

Inflation and Deflation: Historical Origins and Evolution

Bryan further presumes that without being fixed to the cash supply, any price increment appears to have an equivalent claim to the word inflation. Without a doubt, today we frequently read reports of an apparently perpetual assortment of inflation and deflation on economies frequently through verification through central banks. At the point when the word is utilized as a depiction of the cost level, an anti-inflationary strategy can without much of a stretch be portrayed as being against any cost increment, including increased salaries. This is just not the situation. A response to inflation is worried about a specific sort of cost increment, an ascent in the general value level originating from over the top cash creation. At the point when seen in this light, the light gave the word’s unique significance – a nil inflation objective for the central bank turns into a significantly more sensible objective. Freidman states that origins and a deeper understanding of inflation could be traced to the modern times through the actions and policies created by the key crucial players in a region’s economy rather than the mythical acts of God. These are the political key player and the usual culprit; the Central banks. He further implies that inflation isn’t probably going to continue long without being foreseen, and maybe, over anticipated. The suggestion is in this manner that inflation faced by current economies is unavoidably connected to poor strategical approaches. Despite the fact that the word inflation was utilized as long prior as the 1830s, persistent expansion is a post-World War II marvel (Cornish, 2017). Before at that point, the historical backdrop of cost levels indicates episodes of inflation taken after by deflation periods. As such, the value level cycles demonstrated no detectable upward or descending pattern.

Hansen states that on thinking about the historical backdrop of the speculations of inflation and deflation, it is conceivable to recognize two primary solutions, of which the one appears to have had its source far back in the early economic ages, while the other is just 70 years old.

In the meantime, inflation must be caused by increments in cash supply, and would in this manner additionally be an impermanent unsettling influence just, as the estimation of the money was settled regarding the cost of gold. Not exclusively would full employment, furthermore, yield takes after the unsettling influence, yet value level steadiness would likewise take after inside a sensibly brief timeframe. A valid example is the United States, where customer value inflation  found the middle value of just 0,1 for each penny for every year in the vicinity of 1880 and 1914.

The Impact of Inflation and Deflation on the Australian Dollar

 In Australia, this time of cost strength was gone before at a time of cost builds, following the disclosure of gold in several parts of the country. The creation of gold expanded the Australian currency cash supply which raised local uses and ostensible wage, and at last the value level Such increments were, be that as it may, the special case as opposed to the run the show. Parkin and his counterpart Laidler implied that the quantity theory of money has indefinitely defined the literature of inflation for the most part of modern economic times, therefore it would be efficient to crown this review with his study.in his study of quantity theory of money in regards to inflation and deflation of currencies, he retains an essential relationships with the main market forces of an economy which is determination of the price of money in  through applications of supply and demand .This can be put into perspective by equating the quantity value of money to MV=PQ  where M represents money supply or cash flow in an economy resets the velocity, P the price of goods and services available and Q related to the quantity. Therefore, a healthy increase in P is possible only if Q is stable while M and V illustrate a significant change. However, with the exception of in times of hyperinflation, a significant increase in V without anyone else’s input has never caused, or generously strengthened, genuine inflationary inconvenience on condition that expansion is characterized as an increment in P and not as an increment in MV. There are two scholars who based their research on the above and came up with two quantity money theories version related to inflation and deflation in terms of supply and demand. Fisher’s approach which has taken to root by anti-inflation advocates and there is the Cambridge approach which is mostly referred to as the cash balance associated with marshal and Pigou.

In Fisher’s approach, cash is needed by specialists in some settled sum exclusively on the grounds that it happens to be the medium of trade. In this examination cash yields, no increases to the holder as far as the quantity theory of money is concerned, an increase in the supply of cash will prompt a precisely a proportionate increment in P in view of the presumptions that

V and Q are settled with regard to the cash supply;

1. a) Q is dictated by the full business yield level of the economy, accomplished inside sensible periods delayed repercussions pushing the economy off full business;
2. b) the supply of cash is exogenous
3. c) the course of causation keeps running from

The suggestion is that cash supply is responsible for inflation. The primary feedback of this translation of the quantity theory of money is connected to the presumptions, especially in as much as it depends on a supposition that the speed of cash is consistent. Keynes expressed as far back as 1936 that there is no explanation behind assuming that V is consistent. However, Cambridge cash balance approach totally differs from this in the sense that the desired value is stored in money rather than just being a medium for exchange. He further draws a distinction between the supply of money which he denominates by (Md) and supply for money as (M) (Nevile, 2016). Therefore, money in this manner expands utility by empowering the separation of sale and purchase and in addition to serving as a support against inflation-deflation. As cash can yield utility to its holder since it serves a preparatory capacity and gives a store of significant worth, the interest for cash isn’t just determined by an exchanges intention, yet in addition by pay, riches and loan fees. The cash request work in this investigation can be expressed as Md = kPY. In this condition, Md speaks to the interest for ostensible cash adjusts, PY is the cash estimation of national wage and k is the division of PY that private monetary operators wish to hold. In this investigation, k is accepted to have a steady value, despite the fact that it was perceived that the coefficient could shift in the short run (Jarocinski, & Karadi, 2018). Keynes presented the liquidity inclination hypothesis in his clarification of the behavior of money in relation to currency inflation and deflation in a market equilibrium and the reasonable utilization of money related arrangement. In his investigation, he dismissed the thought that the connection amongst money and wage was steady Keynes made a qualification between the value-based, the preparatory what’s more, the theoretical interest for cash or on the other hand New Palgrave In the refinement between these distinctive types of interest for cash, Keynes expresses that we can conveniently utilize the old refinement between the utilization of cash for the exchange of current business and its utilization as a store of currency value. Keynes saw the exchange intention as a mix of a pay thought process, reliant on the measure of pay and the day and age amongst receipt and payment, and a business thought process, controlled by the interim between the season of business use and the receipt of sale proceeds (Keynes, 2017). 

Comparison to Bangladesh Currency

Keynes key role especially after the great depression that hit a toll in large economies such as Austria and Bangladesh, was the introduction of his economic theories that largely remained unchallenged since it examined the rise of inflation and deflation in most of the economies. It determined that legislators or high-ranking government officials should play a major role in restoring a market equilibrium which can be solidified through the creation of employment opportunities. Therefore, he was in agreement if the above steps were successful a change in government taxes and interest bond in response to inflation and deflation will be essential in sustaining the currency value and improving the distribution of income in the economy (Galí, J. 2015).

central banks don’t have coordinate control over inflation and deflation expectations, however, it can impact it over time by methods for predictable monetary policies related arrangement. In the event that the central bank does not prevail in containing change in inflation or deflation which tends to unhealthy for the economy than the objective, the suggestion, in its present condition clarified by the Australian Bureau of statistics, will be that general society does not trust that the central bank will figure out how to hold inflation and deflation under tight restraints. The central bank may then need to raise lower the repo rate more quickly than is reflected in desires of future monetary policies (Gregory & Smith, 2016).

In spite of the fact that there are numerous reasons for inflation, it is conceivable to separate and talk about the central point causing expansion in Australia. The rundown that takes after isn’t intended to be arranged by significance, if simply because the significance of various elements shifts from year to year (Argy, & Nevile, 2016). One factor causing inflation Australia is increments in grant wage rates Various investigations vouch for the way that an expansion of 10% in grant wage rates prompts around an 8% expansion in normal income. Teacher Parkin deciphers the impacts of increments in grant wage rates as the impacts of cost desires with individuals expecting extensive cost increments when there are extensive increments in grant wage rate (Gillitzer, & Simon, 2015). The other factor that causes inflation in Australian currency is the cost-push inflation which is a result of an increase on the cost of production of goods that is later reflected the consumer’s pockets through price level increase. A major source of cost-push inflation in Australia is oil prices and wages in the sense that an increase in wages, most firms in this business will pass on the wage increment to the consumers so as to maintain maximum profitability. Another cause is the instance is when the productive capacity of the market tends to not sustain a higher demand, this results to increase in prices through bidding wars further increasing a limited market supply. The final cause is the absorption of inflation from the global markets especial in cases where goods produced in Australia are challenged by high inflation markets especially in Asia where its largest market, China is suffering from an increase in inflation in its economy (Hao, 2015).

Conclusion

Deflation is slowly creeping to Australia after causing a havoc in the top dogs of the Asian economies, however, there are several factors that are causing deflation in Australia. One of the factors is the constant falling of oil prices, while the country is among the oil produces in the global market, the falling of 48 dollars per barrel to 37 dollars is alarming to the Australian dollar. This could be due to increase in clean energy solution but nevertheless, a lack of increase in the oil prices will through the currency further down resulting in ambitious structural reforms (Nazlioglu, Gormus, & Soytas, 2018). Another factor is the region-wide deflation where the main sources for foreign exchange of Australian goods are poster boys for deflation. Japan which is a crucial market for the country has long been coping with deflation (Nishizaki, Sekine, & Ueno, 2014). The constant rate cuts in New Zealand has also increased the chances of the Australian dollar falling into deflation, being one of its ancient market for almost everything Australian, the constant slashing of its cash rates will inevitably affect the Australian dollar and more cuts are expected to happen to the country according to their central bank (Kelsey,2015). 

Australia is the 11^th largest economy in the world compared to Bangladesh which according 2017 rankings is the 34^th this makes the Australian dollar more powerful than the Bangladesh taka as 1.00 AUD = 64.7094 BDT   (Cooley, & Snyder, J.2017)

 Figure 1: historical exchange rates between the Bangladeshi Taka and the Australian Dollar

inflation on consumer costs in Bangladesh went down from a negligible 5.68% to 5.72% in March 2018 paying little mind to the expansion in the level of sustenance costs from 7.09% to 7.27% in February. Meanwhile, the non-sustenance cost went up 3.52 % appeared differently in relation to 3.36 % in February. Rates  of inflation for a nation and  its modern domains were 5.63 % , 5.76 % respectively (Sumon, and Miyan,2017). On a month to month introduce, purchaser costs edged up 0.34 % after a 0.13% drop in February. Extension Rate in Bangladesh found the center estimation of 6.57 % from 1994 until 2018, accomplishing a record-softening high of 16 % up September of 2011 and a record low of – 0.03 percent in December of 1996

consumer costs in Australia expanded to 1.9 percent during the time to December quarter of 2017, after a 1.7899 percent rise in the past quarter and differentiated and grandstand accord of a 2.0 percent rise. Lodging and transport costs ascended at speedier paces while the cost of sustenance fell significantly less. the swelling rate in Australia found the center estimation of 5.035 percent from 1951 until 2017, accomplishing a record-softening high of 24 percent up the last quarter of 1951 and a record low of – 1.295 percent in the second quarter of 1962

Audit based measures of family unit’s observation and desires are consistently seen to be common in reckoning macroeconomic time arrangement. They have found their way into the estimation and arrangement of macroeconomic models and are as often as possible uncovered for considerable industrialized countries. Furthermore, examine data gives a basic benchmark to national banks importance to hook development wants at their target extension level. Joint test and review examinations give the idea that outline based inflation expectations by purchasers are financially important since consumers follow up on their desires in financial choices including future inflation and deflation. Be that as it may, study cross-segments often demonstrate solid degrees of heterogeneity between shoppers with noteworthy contrasts between sociodemographic gatherings and study measures might be impacted by buyers’ level of monetary education as for inflation and deflation. In this paper, we utilize another study informational index to assess the impact of question-wording on review measures of customers’ quantitative inflation and deflation expectations and perceptions crosswise over statistic gatherings. Controlling for review wording impacts, we additionally dissect the significance of individual identity attributes, in particular, hazard demeanor, confide in individuals and consumers’ joy. Also, we shall identify the consumers’ trust ‘ trust in the Australian central bank and additionally news on its monetary policies to curb deflation and inflation by the purchaser. In this manner, we can by implicating an assessment on the impact of focal bank straightforwardness and correspondence first on the impression of fiscal approach by the respondent, and second on his expansion gauges. At last, we test whether lack of education regarding expansion assumes an imperative part in the development of observations (Bilson, 2016).

Below is a questionnaire that was used in the survey

“Do you think that over last 12 months there

was inflation or deflation or neither in Germany?” (Explanation “Deflation is the opposite

of inflation” is given by the interviewer)17

• Inflation
• Deflation
• None of both items
• Don’t know
• No answer
• (Inflation unknown): To the interviewer – please mark only if the

person asked for a definition of inflation!

• No answer
• Asked for definition of inflation
• (Inflation rate – asked only if the person gave the respective

qualitative answer of inflation): “How many percent do you think the inflation rate was

over the last 12 months?”18

• Per cent:
• Don’t know
• No answer
• (Inflation rate, range – asked if the person did not give a specific number): “Please indicate a range for the inflation rate in percent.”
• Range from
• (Inflation rate, range, 2nd question): “I want to make sure that

I got it right. You said that the inflation rate over the last 12 months was on average

in a range between x and y per cent? Is that right?”

• Yes
• No
• Don’t know
• No answer
• (Inflation rate, range, correction): “Please give me the correct range for the inflation rate.”
• Range from
• (Inflation rate, 2nd question): “I want to make sure that I got

it right. You said that the inflation rate over the last 12 months was on average x per

cent? Is that right?”

• Yes
• No
• Don’t know
• No answer

For the second wording scheme we exchanged the “inflation” or” deflation” by “did

prices in general increase/decrease”. All the other questions remained the same in spirit.

Figure 1 displays the scatterings of the truncated information. All components demonstrate a right-skewed stream around observations and needs of 2%, which relates to the pro-Australian national bank point of convergence of continuing swelling underneath, however near 1.9%. Besides, all parts have monstrous frequencies at 5, 10, 15 and 20%, recommending that “digit slant” is open in our informative social event. This is according to the check of family units’ extension and fall discernments/and want in Australia. In any case, it gives the courses for inflation observations and wants are more diminutive around 2% and that “digit-incline” is less clarified when the demand is conveyed like an improvement, as opposed to cost changes (Romer,2014)

The test brings about Table 1 additionally affirm that the mean, middle and fluctuation of quantitative inflation perception vary fundamentally crosswise over the wording plans: Both a t-test for the balance of means and the non-parametric tests for uniformity of circulations (Fong, & Huang,2017). This outcome likewise holds for most socio-statistic subgroups: The wording of the review addresses essentially influences inflation discernments and desires of men and ladies and also those of most age, instruction, salary and business gatherings. Strikingly, the test outcomes propose that those gatherings which most investigations find to have less precise expansion estimates, to be specific low training and salary bunches and additionally the jobless, are less influenced by the kind of question wording (Eichenbaum, Johannsen,  & Rebelo, 2017).

Next, we assess the rundown measurements for quantitative recognitions and desires of value changes in Tables 2 to 5 and their inflation rate. We look at both general observations and desires and contrasts crosswise over statistic gatherings. By and large, shoppers in the study all things considered apparent cost increments of 5.1% (and 3.5% in the middle) over the earlier year and expect cost increments in Australia of 4.7% all things considered (and 3% in the middle) in the following year. Considering that the year-on-year inflation rate of the Australian orchestrated file of purchaser costs in May 2013 was 1.6%, this recommends even the middle buyer had expansion impression of more than two-fold the genuine inflation rate, inferring a solid upwards inclination. These socio-statistic contrasts are as often as possible revealed in the writing and hold paying little respect to the inquiry wording. Age is by all accounts a special case, as we discover customers in the 16-29 age bracket seem to have the most noteworthy recognition, what’s more, desires of value changes, while customers matured 45-59 have the most noteworthy point assessments of present and future expansion rates. With respect to crosswise over business status gatherings, we find that the jobless and individuals working in purported small scale employments emerge in the two wordings (Armantier,et,al,2015). While they have higher expectations or discernment by and large, individuals in smaller than normal occupations have astoundingly low expansion desires. Note, nonetheless, that the gatherings sizes in these two gatherings are generally little. For the most part, those households with higher mean inflation and deflation perception and expectation likewise appear moderately bigger interquartile ranges (Higgins,2018). This may demonstrate that the bigger heterogeneity of inflation gauges in these gatherings may be mostly because of the higher absence of education and vulnerability with respect to expansion. Be that as it may, the Kruskal Wallis tests can’t dismiss the invalid speculation of equivalent populaces for any statistic class in the factors from the inquiries on cost changes, inferring that the distinctions in first minutes are not factually noteworthy (Bryan,  Meyer, & Parker, 2015). We do discover some proof of essentially unique differences between the view of male and female and expectations of various age, pay and business bunches in the value questions. The fluctuation between statistic bunches in the information from the inflation questions appears to be more articulated. We find critical contrasts in circulations as well as differences inside all gatherings, with the exception of the work classes, of discernment from the survey questions and critical contrasts inside the training and salary bunches gatherings of expectations in future currency inflation or deflation.

Conclusion

inflation can be impacted by both supply-side factors, for example, cost of generation and demand-side factors, for example, the rate of interests, affecting the Australian economy generously both emphatically and negatively. Recently, Australia has maintained a generally low inflation level because of the cooperation of both free market activity side components, which has, to some degree, influenced Australia’s financial development and advancement. demand side elements have a tendency to be the principal patron of inflation, particularly amid times of an abnormal state of financial movement (Bell,2017). The Australian economy is a service-based economy with over 65% of the country’s gross domestic product(GDP) originating from the service sector. Nevertheless, mining and agriculture account for about 5% of the Australian GDP which reflects over 60% of the country’s export, this makes the Australian dollar (AUD) highly sensitive to decreases and increases commodity prices especially gold as the country is the third largest exporter of gold to the global market (Bramble,2015). The paper has also discussed the various literature reviews concerning inflation and deflation in relation to Australian currency while identifying the various gaps in the literature, However Keynes approach to quantity theory of money in relation to inflation and deflation after the great depression has remained unchallenged for a long time which has defined the actions taken by central banks when faced with such a dilemma (Hossain,2014). A household survey was conducted on the perception and expectation of inflation and deflation on a social demographic scale. The survey was able to identify key points such as age bracket defined one’s perception of inflation where Ages of 16 to 29 were more familiar with the perception of inflation and deflation but they were not conversant with the key points.A comparison between the Australian dollar and the Bangladesh taka has been reviewed in this paper where it determined the economic strength of the two currencies by putting them, into perspective while focusing on the rate of inflation on the two currencies
