Credit...into the '90s
Article Abstract:
There are several trends that will affect the personal retail credit market in the 1990s. Since 1987, customers have been showing a reluctance to acquire new debt and they have been making strong efforts to clear their current debts which could create a credit market downturn in the future. Other trends that are working against creditors include: decreasing deferred tax credits; increasing competition from bank cards; and increasing business costs. There are some good signs for the future of the retail credit market such as: strengthening of interest rate stabilization; increasing efficiency advancements; and increasing securitization of debts.
