purchasing power

purchasing power The ability to purchase goods and services. In times of inflation a loss of purchasing power occurs when monetary assets are held because of the decline in the purchasing power of the currency. If a company has monetary liabilities, a purchasing power gain will arise because the absolute sum of the loans will be repaid with currency with less purchasing power.
