Interest Rates as Running Posture Analogy

• Running Speed = Economic Growth

• Leaning Forward (Low Interest Rates):
  • Just like leaning forward helps you accelerate while running, low interest rates push the economy to grow faster.
  • It encourages borrowing, investing, and spending—like gravity pulling you forward.

• Running Upright or Leaning Back (High Interest Rates):
  • Running more upright—or slightly leaning back—makes you more cautious, stable, and slows you down.
  • Similarly, high interest rates slow the economy by making borrowing more expensive and encouraging saving.
