– How does it help an economy when a government lowers interest rates?

1.08K views

Extremely non financially savvy person here. Is the idea that more people then get home loans, or there is less to pay back on credit cards? I keep seeing this and don’t quite understand.
Thanks so much.

Let’s say you want to do something. Buy land. Start a business. Expand your business.

But you can’t afford to do so in cash. What do you do?
That’s right, you get a loan. Lowering the interest rate makes it easier to do these things. Doing these things create economic activity, and economic activity grows the economy.
