With any economical issue, the government usually steps in and changes the way the financial market works.

The fiscal government lowers interest rates in an attempt to boost economic output. Therefore, making it flexible for individuals and businesses to borrow money and pay it back.

Interest rates can differ from country to country. However, this information is freely available on your government’s fiscal or reserve bank website.
