EBA – Fiche d’information sur l’impact de l’inflation élevée et de la hausse des taux d’intérêt sur ma preuve d’argent ?

Inflation is a general increase in the price level of goods and services, over a period of time. Put simply, you can buy less today than you could yesterday with the same amount of money. To control inflation, central banks increase the interest rates they charge on loans to commercial banks. Commercial banks then pass on these higher rates to their clients.

This means that inflation can affect:

• your loans;
• your savings;
• your financial investments;
• your pensions;
• your insurance;
• any other financial products you have.
