interest rate policy
Central bank lever
Interest rate policy is a government or central bank's approach to setting borrowing costs in an economy.
Central banks like the Federal Reserve adjust benchmark rates to influence inflation, employment, and economic growth.
The Fed's interest rate policy aims to cool inflation without triggering recession.
Loose policy means lower rates to stimulate borrowing; tight policy means higher rates to restrain it.
