If there is a negative real interest rate, it means that the inflation
rate is greater than the nominal interest rate. If the Federal funds
rate is 2% and the inflation rate is 10%, then the borrower would gain
7.27% of every dollar borrowed per year.

Since 2010, the U.S. Treasury has been obtaining negative real interest
rates on government debt, meaning the inflation rate is greater than the
interest rate paid on the debt.[29]
