The quote is about a one-time increase in growth of 5 percentage points. Not multiple years or forever.

Or obviously it can be spread out, e.g. ~1% additional increase over 5 years.

It cannot be sustained with just one-time growth. Capital always has to grow, or it will decrease. If this bubble actually manages to deliver interest, this will lead to the bubble growing even larger, driving even more interest.
