They range from subdued bank lending to unusually high risk aversion, and from discredited credit vehicles to the withdrawal of some institutions from credit intermediation altogether.

This particular model predicts that banks will over invest in high risk, high yield projects, i.e., asymmetric information lets toxic loans onto the credit market.

The immediate causes are well known. They range from subdued bank lending to unusually high risk aversion, and from discredited credit vehicles to the withdrawal of some institutions from credit intermediation altogether.

There is a credit crunch, as banks with insufficient capital do not want to lend to risky borrowers, while slow growth and high levels of household debt have also depressed credit demand.

We must reckon with a huge increase in bankruptcies as well as with impaired credit markets and high unemployment.

Consequently, maintaining high GDP growth rates requires an ever increasing volume of credit and a continuously growing money supply.

Given how financially stretched US households are, a good part of this tax rebate may be used to pay down high credit card balances (or other unsecured consumer credit) or to postpone mortgage delinquency.

Unfortunately, given high inflation, structural adjustment has been postponed, with efforts to control credit expansion becoming the government s first priority.

In the years leading up to the crisis, two bubbles property and credit fueled a record high personal consumption binge.

In addition to tighter credit, falling home prices and high unemployment will continue to put a crimp on US consumer spending.

The collapse of credit made matters worse and firms, facing high borrowing costs and declining markets, responded quickly, cutting back inventories.

Financial Credit

It is high time we put a credit rating system in place. What I mean is that you can t just allow any Tom, Dick and Harry that has a blue payslip enters into a credit contract without a thorough check on his financial background.

One possibility is that they worry about borrowers credit risk, though this would have to be extremely high to justify the complete cessation of long term lending.

This way public credit registries and credit bureaux may be able to operate and provide adequate and up to date electronic credit information.

Banks and credit card companies have become much more cautious about extending credit.

Credit histories cannot be shared, because a credit bureau is just getting started.

The supply of credit, in other words, resulted from the demand for credit.
