The success of your business due to the strong economy explains why my spouse feels excited. The increase in interest rates may lead to a decline in new home demand. When mortgage rates rise they lead to higher costs which can discourage potential buyers and reduce demand in the housing market. The government increases interest rates as a measure to suppress inflation and stop the economy from growing too fast. Business expansion during this period presents significant risks.

His business is doing fairly well, especially because prices in Argentina have been falling, including the cost of labor too, since August of 2024. The date is September 1, 2024, and uncle Mateo texted you the following message in an effort to seek your advice about a new policy the government there is intending to implement to deal with high unemployment rates that started to creep up in early 2024: "Hola (hello) dear niece, As you know, prices in Argentina have been falling recently, which is great because I can now hire more people and buy material cheaper than I used to. Also, I was able to find more workers at lower pay because this unemployment rate has been rising. However, some crazy government people want to change things.
