MAN forces for r rise: (nominal interest rate i think is it that u mean)
- when a lot of people ask for borrowing money, it could rise the r, the simple law between demand & supply
- when a gouvernment want to rise the saving of their population, so the central bank could rise to r to attract people save more money, (cause a big saving of money is good for economics, especially with a big country deficit as in USA)
- or government when to practise the political of restriction
for r decrease:
- USA practised it, when its economics was not good, decrease the interest rate could encourage people to borrow money to starte his own business, or with a law r, people have more incentive to spend money: like buy a new car, even if the interest rate is very law, it's very interesting to buy a house, so it can relaunch economy in recession.
well there are also some specific field like in finance:
- there a some formule to determine the interest rate.
I hope it can help u, but my specialisation is MICROeconomics, cause macroeconomics are boried, always this rise, and that decrease....
