Tough Times for Borrowers
If you are interested in borrowing money right now, you’re likely going to have some difficulty. The credit crunch has made lenders fearful. While interest rates for individuals are pretty low (both for savers and borrowers), rates that the banks charge each other to borrow have remained higher than expected. In addition, banks are just a lot less willing to lend money right now. It basically seems like the only way you can get a loan now is to prove to the bank you don’t need the money.
This is a 180 degree turn from a few years back, when the housing market was booming and subprime loans were everywhere. At that point, you practically had to shoo lenders away; today, you can’t get them to come over if you invite them for dinner.
Where does the answer to all of this lie? Clearly, somewhere in the middle. The economic crisis that’s going on right now was caused by lending practices that were far too lenient; now, it’s being extended because almost no one can borrow money. There’s a need for responsible, reasonable lending practices that don’t end up in foreclosures and defaults but are more accommodating to economic growth.
