Interest is a part of development? Just checkout through people's lives. Interest have been a big threat to lives of many people. Interest isn't mandatory for development. For bank, it is a business and they do their maximum to squeeze people with higher interest which in fact, takes their lives. ...
Just check through peoples' lives.
Don't lecture people about economics that you know nothing about except voodoo economics from some old book.
Interest is just a way for lenders to earn more. Borrowers need to spend more money on repayment. Well, people from low level middle class can hardly repay them, but they do with very strugglings. Poor people always end up badly and most of them suicide. Increasing wealth of a few persons and putting large number of people into danger is certainly not an economic development. You are only taking case of high level middle class people.
That's what I said. Check through people's lives.
Yeah, sorry! I forgot Muslims don't know how to read and study. Also didn't know we only knew voodoo economics, in fact, we don't know voodoo. Don't even talk about things you don't know, else, you will spread stupidity just like you do now. No offense.
Interest serves many purposes in today's world. As previously mentioned, when a nation's currency is depreciating, interest is about the only thing that will give people incentive to keep their money in investments and banks. No one would have "retirement savings accounts" if they did not earn interest.
A true rate of interest would be the interest paid less the amount of loss of value of a currency. Cutting interest out of a nation's economy does nothing except vastly increase the power of the state, which can print money when more is required for projects. Likely this is one reason largely Muslim nations are so backwards.
People put their money in Banks for security and easy-access/spending. Certainly, interest influence their choice of bank. More interest a bank pays, the more investors they get. It isn't, like I said, part of economic development. From your post, I understood you are only considering one side.
Even the Dubai banks work to screw the people as much as they can. Interest is irrelevant. Interest is only the icing on the cake, used, partially, to blind the people to the truth. Sometimes this icing is very thin, or even non-existent, as in no-interest loans that happen all over the world now and again. But the cake is still there.
