Answer: Bond price decrease while Price level Increase

Explanation: A bond is a contract between two parties, it is a debt security, under which the issuer (government or business owners) owes the holders a debt and is obliged to pay them interest or to repay the principal at a later date, which is called the maturity date. Bonds is a means where the government or corporations secure loans from investors and pay them at an agreed date with interest.

In the instance a country's government increases borrowing, it is safe to say the price of bonds will decrease while price level will increase in the short run.
