The impact of interest rates on Borrowing/saving money…
• The bank’s interest rate is the PRICE or COST of borrowing money AND the REWARD for saving money
For example you might borrow £1,000 from a bank…
…however, they will not give you the money for free you will have to repay the £1,000 plus interest
If you put money into a bank you will gain interest as a ‘thank you’ for saving your money with them

The impact of changing interest rates on Borrowing/saving money…
• Banks and building societies regularly change their interest rates
• A change will have a major impact upon consumers, savers, borrowers, homeowners and businesses
Q. What would be the impact on homeowners who have a mortgage if the interest rate were to increase?
A. If they have a variable rate mortgage their repayments with change directly with the interest rate set by the bank; therefore a rise in interest rates will increase repayments, meaning they have less disposable income!
