Interest rates can affect economic activity by influencing borrowing and spending. When interest rates are low, borrowing is cheaper and consumers and businesses are more likely to spend and invest. This can lead to economic growth.

Conversely, when interest rates are high, borrowing becomes more expensive and spending and investment decrease, leading to a slowing of economic activity. Interest rates can also affect the value of a currency and the balance of trade.

Sometimes, govt have to increase interest rate to mob excess cash in circulation and reduce the possiblity of inflation. Government can increase interest rate when they need fund to execute some projects.

When interest rates are high it is like turning off the money spigot a bit, getting into debt is more expensive and that opportunity cost is lost and investment decreases and therefore also growth, just the opposite happens when the rates are at 0 or even in negative

Low interest rate helps to stimulate economic growth. With low interest rate, people can get more money to make purchases and invests in businesses.
High interest rates induce saving and reduce consumption.

I think the situation is not different in other countries too. Even in my country the government is implementing policies that can make sure every individual pays very expensive interests rates.

Yes, in most central banks they are acting in the same way, increasing the percentage of the interest rate, in Europe it is possible that they will end up rising more than in the US.

What they don't know is that interest rate is kept low would increase manufacturing and productivity which would boost economic growth.
