Companies Borrow at Low Rates, but Donât Spend
Keywords:
The Fed's efforts to stimulate the economy with low interest rates are having an unintended effect. Even as it is hurting savers and the retired who earn little interest and are pushed into riskier investments, corporations are able to borrow cheaply at near 1% interest rates. Corporations now have about $1.6 trillion in cash savings set aside, and the ratio went up to 6.2% of assets. With the current economic environment and uncertainty this cash is not being used for additional investments and hiring.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
