<p>On my book it says that net interest is "The interest domestic businesses pay minus the interest
they receive, plus interest earned from foreigners."</p>

<p>But how can businesses receive interest?</p>

Why shouldn't they receive interest? What do you think is preventing it?

I thought only households receive interest because they deposit their savings in financial institutions.  Thats why im confused. I mean, for example, does Pepsi receive interest or is it only banks?
