English term or phrase: increases in long-term rates
So what will happen when central banks start raising interest rates? In 1994, rising short-term rates caused increases in long-term rates – and declines in long-term bond prices – that were at least double what standard models at the time were predicting.

I do not understand if this is "an increase of the borrowing cost for long-term money" or an increase as in "the number of requested long-term credits".
Thanks for your help.

Zinsanstieg im langfristigen Bereich
Explanation:
This refers to rising long-term interest rates (yields) which were triggered by hikes in short-term rates. (Remember that central banks usually cannot influence long-term rates directly - their influence is on the short-term end of the market.)
