Low interest rates have ordsprog

Low interest rates have served as a sort of amnesty for graduates with debt. She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and understanding of her emotions. We haven't seen what the real impact is of much higher levels of borrowing.

I think the real story last month was that in spite of higher interest rates, exploding energy costs and debt levels, the American consumer rolls on.

What we found is that, rightly or wrongly, consumers are accepting increasingly-higher levels of debt as a normal state of affairs. This may not be a problem in a low rate environment, but with interest rates on the rise, the time is now for all of us to take a step back and ask ourselves if we're doing all that we should to ensure we make smart borrowing and saving decisions. The good news is, for those of us who need to make changes, there are many simple ways to get started.

Long term interest rates are higher now than they were in the second and third quarters, and debt levels are higher too. Yes, consumer spending will continue to expand, but it will be slower.

The bottom line is that credit-based spending remains incredibly strong. Debt levels continue to rise and if there is any upward adjustment to interest rates, that would have major impact on debt serving costs.

Credit remains widely available for both consumers and businesses despite higher interest rates. However, consumer borrowing is likely to slow as housing markets cool. Business borrowing should take up some of the slack.

Fear of higher rates and higher Treasury yields are the main factors driving markets these days. We've been used to low rates for such a long time that now it seems the market was caught by surprise with yields at these levels. We might see less borrowing and less spending as a result.

Low interest rates and rampant house price appreciation have really been driving borrowing. As long-term rates finally start to rise, the pace of debt accumulation will slow.

Investors have started selling real estate stocks on speculation higher interest rates in Japan will hurt their earnings as borrowing costs trim their future profit.

This is in line with our expectation that demand for new housing would 'cool off' towards the end of 2005 and in early 2006 as higher short-term interest rates, driven by the Fed, would ultimately translate into higher long-term borrowing rates.

There's uncertainty with the impact of higher interest rates as to whether it will slow the economy down, and I feel that it won't, and thus we'll have even higher interest rates.

This is a positive for corporate balance sheets, ... They're able to restructure higher-yielding debt for debt at levels that we haven't seen in 45 years.

So far, the debt payment ratio (of loan payments to income) hasn't been higher this decade than during the 1990s, but it's been partly held in check by lower interest rates. In some sense, we haven't seen the whole burden bearing down yet.

Heather Boushey

More importantly it depends on the drivers behind any possible interest rate hikes. Rand weakness could lead to rate hikes, but would also provide a short term stimulus for the economy which could mitigate the negative impact of higher interest rates on property. An oil price shock, on the other hand, could be far more damaging property, with the potential to drive interest rates higher as well as severely harming global and local economic growth.

These people haven't served time for their crimes, and they're getting amnesty. We're being pushed aside. The ex-offenders should have got amnesty before any illegal aliens. Are there certain laws that certain people can break?
