He says this means the marketplace will change and the price of goods and services will begin to drop because of things such as comparison websites, improved supply chains, access to alternative products and new technology. So as companies try to stay afloat in the new market they will have to drop prices in order to keep customers and remain competitive. This is where the government needs to stay on its toes. Lower prices leads to people spending more which as we know leads to institutions becoming more willing to hand out money. Economists say as recent history shows us a cut in interest rates and easy to obtain loans is not the answer. Don’t believe me? Google it.Digital Natives
