Cause-and-effect chain

Cause and effect chain:  Government borrowing to finance the debt competes along with private borrowing & drives up the interest rate; the higher interest rate causes a decline in private capital and economic growth slowdown.

Though, if public investment complements private investment, private borrowers might be ready to pay higher rates for positive growth chance.  Productivity and economic growth could increase.
