Here is your answer
________________
1. Higher cost of borrowing means a larger part of the earnings of the borrowers is used to repay the loans. Hence borrowers have less income left for themselves.
2. In certain cases the higher interest rate for borrowing can mean that the amount to be repaid is greater than the income of the borrower. This could lead to increasing debt and debt trap. Also, people who might wish to start an enterprise by borrowing may not do so because of the high cost of borrowing.
3. For these reasons, banks and cooperative societies need to lend more.
4. This would lead to higher incomes and many people could then borrow cheaply for a variety of needs.
5. They could grow crops, do business, set up small-scale industries etc. They could set up new industries or trade in goods
6. So cheap and affordable credit is crucial for the country’s development
