But central banks can choose to pay zero interest on a portion of the reserves that commercial banks hold with them, even when they increase the policy interest rate. And they can require commercial banks to hold zero interest reserves at the central bank equal to a defined proportion of their loans, thus preventing inflationary growth of private credit and money.

Between 1998 2002, there was a 7.5 increase in the rate of women receiving alimonies from the NII. The increase derived, usually, from the greater numbers of divorces and the higher rate of unemployment.

Fed officials generally believe that tax reform is a factor supporting this modest strengthening of the economic outlook. The Fed predicts that the economy will increase by 2.5 in 2018 and the interest rate will be raised three times.

A normal US economy has a short term nominal interest rate of 4 . Since the ten year US Treasury bond rate tends to be one percentage point above the average of expected future short term interest rates over the next decade, even the expectation of five years of deep depression and near zero short term interest rates should not push the 10 Year Treasury rate below 3 .

Article 49After an impairment of a financial asset, the interest incomes shall be recognized at the interest rate which is used as the capitalization rate in the capitalization of the future cash flow when the impairment related losses are determined.
