Question

. What happens when the domestic interest rate is lower than foreign interest rates?Foreign investment shift domestically

Answer 1

Lower domestic interest rates should help to boost the economy, by increasing lending and investment. It also should depreciate the currency of the country, increasing exports and decreasing imports. This temporary depreciation of the currency should be offset in the short run, as more exports will eventually result in an appreciation. Foreign direct investment should also increase (at least temporarily) due to cheaper currency.
