He said that the interest rate was 8% and he had decided to wait for a little bit more.
Then the interest rate had raised to 8.5 %. It was the historical maximum, for that reason he had made a decision to wait until it go down to 8%.
After that interest rate had grown to 9% and even more. And somebody had informed us that it could jump up to 10 or even 12 %.
We needed money and didn’t have more time to wait. So we had to do it.
