Foothill College Rising US Interest Rates Debt Burdens Foreign Reserves Analysis
I’m working on a economics question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Many countries have issued substantial $US-denominated debt as they attempted to keep their economies afloat during the COVID pandemic. The US had also had extremely low interest rates.
Now that the US economy is heating up, the US will soon begin raising interest rates.

a) countries that have a floating exchange rate,
and also for
b) countries that have a currency pegged to the dollar?
