    Inflation produces some short term gains to both debtors and lenders. For instance, when lenders don’t anticipate inflation, borrowers get what can amount to an interest free loan. However, the lenders can gain on a variable loan in which the interest rates are not locked and those borrowers can end up paying a higher rate. That is basically the effect of inflation on debtors and creditors.

    The corporate earnings may also appear healthier during the early stages of an inflationary cycle. This is because the additional revenue from today’s climbing prices is reflected in the financial statements before tomorrow’s higher production costs are accounted for and the inventories gain value.
