The rise in oil prices and treasury interest rates in the United States has exerted additional pressure on households. According to recent assessments, energy and loan costs have significantly increased, forcing households to rely more on their savings.
Increased Costs for Households

This situation may also lead to government and central bank financial and monetary policies that are trying to manage this crisis.
