What happens when interest rates increase?

When interest rates increase, borrowing costs for businesses and consumers also increase. This can lead to slower economic growth, as companies may invest less and consumers may spend less. Additionally, higher interest rates can cause the value of existing bonds to decrease, which can lead to losses for bondholders. On the other hand, savers may benefit from higher interest rates on savings accounts and other deposit accounts.
