“In fact, we’ve been saying for a year, ‘It’s not possible that interest rates would have risen so much after being low for so long, and there wouldn’t be any vulnerabilities, something has to do a’ boom’,” she added. She is in conversation with a journalist, the conversation was published on the IMF’s YouTube channel.
