Why increase interest rates?

Interest rates are increased by central banks, such as the Federal Reserve, to control inflation and stabilize the economy. When interest rates are increased, borrowing money becomes more expensive, which can slow down spending and investment. This can help prevent the economy from overheating and inflation from getting out of control. Additionally, raising interest rates can also help stabilize currency exchange rates, and attract foreign investment.
