All other things being equal, a rise in the base interest rate of an economy is most likely to reduce its aggregate demand through a rise in the:
exchange rate, which increases the price competitiveness of domestic exports.
domestic currency price of imported consumption goods.
cost of borrowing, which discourages credit-financed consumption and business investment.
rate of domestic inflation, which reduces real household incomes.
