Babic explained the lowering of credit ratings means increased costs, which in turn means an increase in the costs of borrowing, that is, higher interest rates. "The latter means lower investments and aggregate demand, which reduces production and increases unemployment."
Babić objašnjava da sniženje kreditnog rejtinga znači povećane troškove, što opet znači povećanje troškova zaduživanja, odnosno više kamate. „Više kamate znače manje investicija i ukupne potražnje, što smanjuje proizvodnju i povećava nezaposlenost.“
