- 2Crowding out refers to a situation where the government provides free credit to all private corporations, leading to a total collapse of the banking system's interest income.
- 3It is a regulatory process where the government forbids the private sector from issuing any debt instruments to ensure the success of sovereign schemes.
- 4Crowding out occurs when there are too many banks in the market, causing the market interest rates to drop to zero percent for all types of commercial loans.
