Reasons To Disagree

Interest rate hikes are very damaging to borrowers and exporters, which is damaging to our economy, therefore exchange rates need to be considered.

Reasons To Agree

They shouldn't use interest rates to fight inflation anyway. Make credit harder to obtain rather than more expensive. Raising interest rates just damages business and therefore eventually it hurts everybody.
