Saving is seen to be detrimental to economic activity, as it weakens the potential demand for goods and services. Economic activity is depicted as a circular flow of money. Spending by one individual becomes part of the earnings of another individual, and vice versa.
To increase economic growth
Lower interest rates – reduce the cost of borrowing and increase consumer spending and investment.
Increased real wages – if nominal wages grow above inflation then consumers have more disposable to spend.
Higher global growth – leading to increased export spending.
