Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between low interest rates and investments is not always observed, especially in contexts of economic recession. In fact, low interest rates are the biggest stimulus for the economy. However, as in the 2008 crisis, household and firm indebtedness becomes an impediment to investment, even as interest rates fall.
