Abstract

In this paper the link between inflation and deficit finance through debt monetization and changes in the international reserve inflows is investigated. It is found that changes in the monetization of government debt and in the international reserve inflows had a strong impact on domestic prices. Conversely, the results of the experiment suggest that government deficits had no impact on domestic prices. Also, the results imply that government budget defieits are positively associated with external borrowing.
