Albert,

you think that that you are joking but it did happened in a number of countries before. Negative interest rate, while very rare, is normal .....

I think this only applies return on deposits, not rate for loans.

Albert, <Negative interest rate, while very rare, is normal .....>

How does that work? Something like "Here's $100, just pay me back $10 for the next nine weeks"?

Maybe negative real interest rates (interest rate below inflation) but not negative nominal rates.
