As #economists put it, Ceteris paribus, or “all other things being unchanged or constant”.
However, “things” do change when there #events like #war, #pandemic, or in the #indian context, #political and #social #instability, throwing the #economy off-balance.
In such cases, #interestrates fluctuate due to #inflation, #mismanagement, and outright #economic #collapse, as our “not so friendly” #neighborhood shows, with #pakistan and #srilanka being examples.
This is when a #debtcrisis hits, and as this #article explains, #india is “drowning in #debt”, right from the #centralgovernment to the #states, and down to the average Indian.
Worse, a “staggering” 2 Trillion #rupees make up the #creditcarddebt, having risen by 30% over the #lastyear. Essentially, the #indiastory is an “empire of #debt” that can “pop” anytime.
Given record #unemployment and gross #inequities, the “hit” would be on the #poor, as we all “know” what happens to “well connected” #borrowers, who are anyway on the “right side” of the ruling dispensation.
