W :
Did you hear about the recent interest rate hike?
M :
Yes, I did. It’s going to make it more expensive for businesses to borrow money. This could lead to a slowdown in investment and economic growth.
W :
That’s true. It’s also going to make it more expensive for people to borrow money to buy homes and cars. This could lead to a slowdown in consumer spending. Overall, I think the interest rate hike is going to have a negative impact on the economy.
M :
I agree. It’s going to be a tough time for everyone.
