"Keep going! I am interested to hear how you think is should work..."
I've said it about a dozen times, especially to you, but once more for your sake. First of all, let the market set interest rates, not central banks. Second, you have currency that is backed by a tangible asset, Gold is a good candidate for many reasons. This inherently limits the amount that can be lent but still allows people to borrow, but it will be much more competitive so people will make damn well sure they borrow productively.
