How Interest Rates Can Go Negative

excerpt:

The Bottom Line
Japan now joins the European Central Bank (ECB), Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark in enacting a negative interest rate policy in order to kick-start the economy. The goal is to discourage financial institutions from hoarding cash and instead to lend or invest it. While only specific funds held by the banking sector will be subject to paying negative interest rates, it has the potential to lower interest rates across the board making it easier to borrow money for all. At the same time, such a move to negative rates may imply that central banks are out of ammunition in combating recessionary pressures in the economy and that, if this fails to produce good results, there may not be anything left to do.
