Interest Rates Up or Down

[BlackenedBiker]

Learned Posters,

What do you think, are we in for high interest rates (above 10%) medium (say between 5% - 10%) or low.

And if interest rates are to rise, over what period?

poll?

Low, possibly at the lowest end of your medium range, for some considerable time with no attempt to combat the high inflation that prior lax monetary policies have caused in a attempt to erase the huge level of debt.

poll?

Yes Chef!

[Smurficus]

Return to the top end of your low.

May even earn interest on bank balances again!

hyper-inflation will be left to wipe out all the trillions printed and in personal/government debts.

Interest rates will be left low to encourage hyper-inflation and recreate the debt bubble.

Shame about savings and pensions, etc.

Interest rates will remain low because we will still be coming out of a recession, taxes will be rising, public services will be cut, 4 million will be unemployed and up to a million will be dead due to swineflu.

I don't think interest rates can remain at virtually zero forever .... my guess in that 2010 is going to be another painful year.
I'm hoping that encourages McBroon towards a November election.

Poor Andyw option.

I predict that it could be up or could be down
