My company is borrowing money and using it for share buy back.
Companies will only borrow if they see a profit to be made, and they will invest in the most profitable places. The fact that private companies don’t borrow as much as in the past is that there aren’t as many obvious investment opportunities. What is there to be done that will bring in cash?
The same in 2020 … Private sector not borrowing money at these very low interest rates … then you have a problem.
