Question

Imagine in a particular country several major financial institutions fail within a relatively short timeframe, and the country's leader announces a massive federal government bailout is needed to avoid an economic collapse. During this period, uncertainty on the part of business leaders and consumers would be reasonably expected to increase for a while. What impact could this increase in uncertainty have on interest rates as described in the instructor's presentation

Answer 1

Answer:

If decrease in demand for loanable funds was less than decrease in supply then interest rate will increase.

Explanation:

In the case when there is an increase in the uncertainity so the impact should be that it reduced the demand for the loanable fund and that should be less than the reduction in the supply due to this there should be the rise in the rate of the interest. Also we cant estimated the rate of interest whether it is increased or not but as per the theory of supply and demand if supply decreased more than the demand so the rate of interest should increased
