UPSC IAS – 2013
When the supply of money remains the same and there is an increase in the demand for money, it leads to an increase in the rate of interest.
In the money market, the demand for money (Md) is inversely related to the interest rate, while the supply of money (Ms) is typically considered fixed by the central bank. If the demand for money increases (shifts right) while the supply is fixed, the equilibrium in the money market shifts to a higher interest rate, as people are willing to pay more to hold money or borrow funds.
