It's precisely those investments which cause those losses. Those investments are nothing but roundabout ways to provide loans to people and businesses. Loans inject massive amounts of money into the economy. Massive money injections directly cause inflation by increasing the amount of money in circulation, inflating the money supply and devaluing the currency of anyone who didn't participate in the scam by saving money instead of investing it.
