Heremes, please allow me to be a little pedantic here (after all, I'm a pedant, in the Greek sense of the word, lol)
"stimuli" is plural of "stimulus," so your first use of the word seems wrong but the second could well be OK.
I'd hate to be an economist, or, worse still, the treasurer in times like these. So many opposing scenarios tugging at your sleeves, demanding attention, you'd have to me a magician to appease them all. Too high an interest rate and nobody can afford to open a business or buy a house; too low an interest rate and foreign capital runs away! The balance is got to be no thinner than a razor's edge, I reckon but, I feel, the way the world is going, where can the foreign capital go anyway? What foreign capital do we have, in real terms, and how terrible can their withdrawal be for us? Hardly a haven left for anyone's money any more. Keynes and Marx need to be brought together at the meeting which would include the RBA, the Treasury and a few of the wealthiest in the country.
