Explanation:

A situation when there is an increased interest rate it always  leads to a decrease in private investment spending such that it dampens the initial increase of total investment spending is called crowding out effect.

Sometimes, government takes on an expansionary fiscal policy stance and increases its spending to ultimately boost the economic activity. This  always leads to an increase in interest rates. Increased interest rates affect private investment decisions. A high magnitude of the crowding out effect may even lead to lesser income in the economy.
