Double-whammy
From ACT Wiki
Two adverse events hitting simultaneously.
For example, a rise in interest costs on borrowings coupled with a fall in operational revenues.
Example
In a typical credit cycle, as inflationary pressures rise, so central banks raise interest rates to slow demand growth.
Borrowers are therefore hit with the double-whammy of weaker demand and higher loan costs.
