Why not when it drives? It makes
difference what matamatical formula you use to forecast future. Is it
exponential formula (compound interest), multiplication (simple interest)
or adding (fee)?
It makes real difference in the speed of that
"drive" you mentioned. All corporational and governmental
institutions forecast future on the basis of exponential growth, and not
on slower formulas. Therefore we must drive faster and faster...

- Whatever the period of compounding might be as stated
- in the contract, the underlying debt does not

- schedule it is translatable into the terms of
- annualized simple interest. So the simple interest
- formula is just as applicable to the contractual

- math.
The possibility for the contractor
part to pay the agreed interest is depending on other companies or
peoples willingness to borrow more money, i.e. increasing their total
debt, as long as the interest charged is not completely used for
purchasing goods and services. If the new (increased) lending occurs the
debt will rise exponentially together with the yearly interest costs. If
new (increased) lending doesn't occur, the result will be less purchasing
of goods and services and increasing rate of unemplyoment.
The new lending can of course be to the government that uses a deficit in
the budget to pour out more (needed) money into the economy. If this
lending comes from a governmentally owned central bank, as was the case
in Sweden more than 10 years ago, it would in fact be interest-free since
the profit of the central bank was handed over to the government. Now
when Sweden has become a member of the European Union, this is no longer
possible (actually forbidden by the EU treaty).
If people are just hoarding cash money instead of buying, this will also
require new lending, but less since the hoarded money doesn't call for
interest payments.

Yes,
basic, but most sophisticated math says as something about financial
imperatives of compounded growth included in all prognosis made by
corporations. Corporations and careers of top managers are built on
compound growth, yearly checked by governments and owners. If not growing
exponentially, corporations are dying because capital is withdrawn from
them.
