Rates Rising Global Impact | Belfast News
Description

Globally, rising debt costs — including the U.S. military budget being outspent by interest payments — signal potential economic strain. For Irish listeners, now’s the time to lock in fixed-rate mortgages if you’re on variable terms, and to rethink low-yield savings — consider bonds, stocks, or higher-return alternatives to beat inflation.
