interest rates
Price of money
Interest rates are the cost of borrowing money, expressed as a percentage of the principal over time.
When you take out a loan or mortgage, the interest rate determines how much extra you pay back; when you deposit money, it determines how much you earn.
Central banks set benchmark rates that influence rates throughout the economy: The Fed raised interest rates to combat inflation.
Rates affect everything from mortgage payments to credit card debt to bond yields.
