Neutral rate of interest is a uniform, originary rate of interest (see "Originary interest") in certain inconceivable imaginary constructions which assume neutral money. With a neutral rate of interest, the interest rate on loans would always coincide with the ratio between the prices of present goods and the prices of future goods, under the assumption that all prices change uniformly.[1]
