Low rates also encourage savers and businesses to put capital to work rather than leaving it parked in high-interest deposits. But on the flip sides, rates need to be high enough to keep the twitchy carry trade engaged amid a global meltdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EGP has so far weathered the global storm.
