If you're locked into anything not short-term, it is time to start thinking about your exit strategy before rates climb

Assuming that interest rates will go way up, if you have a low rate fixed 30 year mortgage, that would be a good thing, not something you want to escape from. If you have a fixed interest deposit paying 1% though, that could be a problem.

This will prove disastrous in every other way, offsetting any benefit one may derive from being "locked in". Don't fool yourself.

Interest rates going way up would be a huge nail in the coffin, affecting everything in the country.
