A Van Zanten comic for the next issue of the economist magazine ESB, that will appear Thursday. Theme: low interest rates – today in the Dutch news because one of our largest banks has set its interest rate on savings accounts to zero percent. My translation: 1) Negative interest rates? I can’t wait! The first thing I will do is to loan a huge sum and live off the interest. 2) At last, living off interest of one’s money is available to the common man! 3) Of course, economists will have their arguments why my reasoning is not valid and why it is impossible. 4) But for the moment, I’d like to stick to my anticipation.
Een Van Zanten-strip voor het komende nummer van het economische tijdschrift ESB, dat donderdag verschijnt. Maar het thema is vandaag in het nieuws, vanwege de nul procent spaarrente bij ABNAMRO: lage rente.
