THE LOW INTEREST RATE POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN CE...

Central banks around the world have lowered their key interest rates to historical lows and
implemented large asset purchase programs in the past few years. Within the scientific and 
most recently  also increasingly in the political debate  the nominal interest rate is mainly
the subject of discussion. The question is often raised whether saving and retirement provision
are still worthwhile for private households  especially in Germany. In this context it is often
ignored or not considered that the purchasing power of the nominal interest rates fluctuates
considerably with the inflation rate. Inflation-adjusted real interest rates are therefore
decisive for the actual income from financial assets and crucial for the savings and investment
behavior. This study  therefore  shall play ist part to investigate scientifically the
influence and correlation of low and negative key interest rates on yield levels of selected
asset classes within the sphere of influence of the European Central Bank. In this context  the
mainly populist question is also answered whether savers are expropriated slowly.
