On top of these factors we are faced

Interest rates are the reflection of
the economic status of the
country.
In periods of full employment and
favorable business
conditions interest rates tend to rise. In
periods of economic con¬
traction the opposite tends to occur.

economy is strong. In addition, the outflow of
