The one where interest rates aren't being artificially lowered.
That interest rates is non zero doesn't mean it is high. Real interest rate is negative, close to -5%
I read it as the interest rates being artificially low...
I'm sure current interest rates have nothing to do with it :/
Aren’t interest rates already at zero?
is this zero-interest rate phenomena in action?
When interest rates are this low it doesn't make sense to not borrow money...
Also this is because of quantarive easing and low interest rates.....
Because inflation? I assume the "real interest rate" was much lower.
This may be true if interest rates haven't spent two decades at historical lows
