When a central bank raises interest rates, it's not just about "fighting inflation." Here's what's actually happening through multiple lenses:
The central bank uses its policy tools (interest rates) to balance competing mandates: price stability vs. employment
Higher rates make borrowing expensive → businesses invest less, consumers spend less → demand cools → inflation slows
Savers benefit (higher returns), borrowers hurt (mortgage/loan costs rise), wealth inequality may widen
Learn as you read:
Interest rates = the cost of borrowing money. When they go up, everything from mortgages to business loans becomes more expensive.
