The document shows graphs of the prime interest rate, consumer price index (CPI), and real interest rate over the last 20 years from 1990 to 2020. The prime interest rate graph shows that rates have fluctuated between around 2-10% over this period. The CPI graph indicates inflation as measured by the CPI has increased from around 100 to over 200 in the last 20 years. The real interest rate graph computes real rates after adjusting for inflation, with rates ranging from about 2-8% over the period.
