Key Takeaways

  • •The government can borrow money to build public buildings like schools or libraries.
  • •They can promise to pay back the money using the money they make from those buildings.
  • •They can also buy insurance to protect the buildings and the money they make from them.

Example

A city wants to build a new school but doesn't have enough money right now.

The city can borrow money by promising to pay it back using the rent or fees from the school. They can also buy insurance so if the school burns down or doesn't make enough money, the people who lent the money still get paid back.
