An interest rate is the amount of interest due per period, expressed as a proportion of the amount lent, deposited, or borrowed. Typically annualized, it represents the cost of debt for the borrower and the rate of return for the lender. Alongside the principal sum, compounding frequency, and length of time, interest rates are a fundamental driver of financial markets and macroeconomic policy.
