Greetings @fijimermaid
And the lower the interest rate, the lower the borrowing cost, and the higher probability people will take out a loan, spurring economic growth but also increasing their debt to income ratio.
Historically this formula, not only increases the debt to income ratio, it has also generated situations of poverty, psychological imbalances in people who feel that the debt is unaffordable. Good article, best regards.
