POSSIBLE OUTCOMES: ALTERNATIVE SCENARIO 2 r • The background provided over the past few slides lays out the foundation for concern over the future course of interest rates • Currently the cost to the Government to finance its debt (its debt servicing cost) has been relatively muted and unchanged over the past 20 years • This has been a boon for the Government as it has not had to pay the price for increased borrowing o o Imagine a credit card on which h the interest t rate declined d as the balance grows No wonder why politicians have been so liberal with their largesse • We are likely approaching a tipping point where the cost from the balance of outstanding debt starts t to outweigh the fall in average interest t rate o The average interest rate could continue to decline over the next year or two o But it can not fall too considerably lower from the weighted average rate of 2% • The average interest rate on Government debt will adjust relatively quickly to changes in interest rates due to the short-term nature of Government borrowing • What happens when this tipping point is reached?
