Something still doesn't make sense.
If bank A borrows $100 from bank B at 1% (positive) interest, then A has to pay back $101 to B.
If bank A borrows $100 from bank B at -1% (negative) interest, then A has to pay back $99 to B.
In the latter case, A would try to borrow as much as possible, and B would try to never lend anything.
What am I missing here?
