It's not made clear as to what sort of economic sectors the question refers to. I know this much at least: -Increasing interest rates Higher mortgage costs Lower CPI Prevents inflation Slows the economy (decreasing GDP) Higher risk of recession -Decreasing interest rates Lower mortgage costs Higher CPI Steers economy towards inflation Speeds up the economy (increasing GDP) Lower risk of recession what i don't know is how this affects 2 different sectors of the economy. Are different sectors affected differently at all?
