Gr8 understanding!! to add to it!! in case of demand pull inflation reducing demand will control inflation. so incresing bank rates will increase banks cost of funds which will be passed on to consumers via increase in lending rates. the immediate impact will be reduction in demand of bikes, cars etc sales of which thrives on EMI loans. Less demand will give cos enough time to boost production capacity to equate demand supply mismatch and thereby ctrling inflation =thats what i think!!
