The U.S. Federal Reserve said more Banks made it harder to Borrow money as defaults and delinquencies on home loans soared and the economy faltered. Most ''domestic institutions reported having tightened their lending standards and terms on all major loan categories over the previous three months,'' the Fed said yesterday in its quarterly Senior Loan Officer Survey. Funds became scarcer for home purchases, credit card loans became tougher to get and even Banks' best customers were subject to stricter scrutiny. Tighter credit may delay any recovery in economic growth. The survey, conducted last month, covers 52 domestic Banks and 21 foreign institutions. About 75 per cent of U.S. Banks indicated they tightened standards on prime mortgage loans, up from 60 per cent in the previous survey, the bank said. ... Source: www.baltimoresun.com --- 8 days ago

Daniel Miller submits: As credit markets around the world began to feel the effects of an illiquid US financial system, fears of further liquidity problems have surfaced. Banks are required to maintain a certain level of capital assets to ensure continued operations, and when Banks start writing-down billions of dollars worth of these assets, they need other forms of capital. Without this capital, a rapidly evolving downward spiral could begin within an institution. With the lack of liquidity in the financial markets though, where are Banks supposed to Borrow money from? The answer lays outside of the United States, in entities called sovereign wealth funds. Complete Story » ... Source: www.charcol.co.uk --- 1 day ago

Swap rates, whcih are the rates that Banks Borrow money from each other at and a key driver for fixed rate pricing, have fallen sharply over the last month, down to 5.4% from a peak of 6.5%. Thius has clealry helped the Uk mortgage market with better products arriving all the time. That said, the best deals are still only avaiable for those with a 25% deposit, but the times they are a changin'. ... Source: www.dealbreaker.com --- 2 days ago
Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are linking their lending to hedge funds to the market's assessment of the credit worthiness of the investment Banks. Morgan Stanley will reportedly evaluate the amount of leverage it will supply to hedge funds based on the price of its own credit insurance pricing. Goldman is said to be linking its willingness to provide loans to hedge funds based on its bond prices. The report of both changes ran in the Financial Times. The changes would limit the ability of hedge funds to Borrow from either firm if borrowing by Morgan and Goldman became too expensive, indicating a lack of market confidence in the financial health of the firms. In one sense, this seems a practical response to volatility in the credit markets, reducing exposure to hedge fund leverage as credit markets for financial companies become unsettled. It does, however, create a self-serving dynamic for the investment Banks. If hedge funds taking the view that the companies have become unstable push up CDS or bond yields on the firms, they may find themselves unable to Borrow from the firms. In other words, it gives the hedge funds an incentive not to bet against Goldman and Morgan. The FT says the plans to link hedge fund leverage to the broader credit markets has been in the works for sometime. "These arrangements for determining the size of lending commitments to hedge fund clients were being put in place before the collapse of Bear Ste ... Source: www.bignewsnetwork.com --- 5 days ago

Today's New York Times features an article that pulls no punches in suggesting that in recent years, more aggressive advertising prodded consumers to take out risky home equity loans: “Live Richly.” That catchy slogan, dreamed up by the Fallon Worldwide advertising agency, was pitched in 1999 to executives at Citicorp who were looking for a way to lure Americans to financial products like home equity loans. But some in the room did not like it. They worried the phrase would encourage people to live exorbitantly, says Stephen A. Cone, a top Citi marketer at the time. Still, “Live Richly” won out. The advertising campaign, which cost some $1 billion from 2001 to 2006, urged people to lighten up about money and helped persuade hundreds of thousands of Citi customers to take out home equity loans — that is, to Borrow against their homes. As one of the ads proclaimed: “There’s got to be at least $25,000 hidden in your house. We can help you find it.” The portion of people who have home equity lines more than 30 days past due stands 55 percent above its average since the American Bankers Association began tracking it around 1990; delinquencies on home equity loans are 45 percent higher. Hundreds of thousands are delinquent, owing Banks more than $10 billion on these loans, often on top of their first mortgages. None of this would have been possible without a conscious effort by lenders, who have spent billions of dollars in advertising to ch ... Find more results for Banks Borrow on RSSMicro.com |

At a special meeting Wednesday night the Athens Borough Council voted 6-0 (Councilman Greg Ault was absent) to Borrow a $2.425 million line of credit that will be used to fund a major sewer repair project on Maple Street and the borough’s share of an engineering study for the upgrade of the Valley Joint Sewage Treatment Facility. The Maple Street sewer line is badly deteriorated, with several breaks and leaks. The repair project calls for the replacement of the sanitary sewer line, the construction of a new sanitary sewer pump station at the corner of Public and Maple streets, the decommissioning of the South River Street pump station, and the repaving of Maple Street. The cost for this project is estimated at $2 million. However, the borough’s engineer is estimating an additional 10 percent for contingency expenses, which brings that estimate to $2.25 million. The engineering study at the Valley Joint Sewer Treatment Facility is being conducted to determine what upgrades must be made there in order for the plant to meet the mandates of the Chesapeake Bay 2000 agreement. The study, predicted to cost $600,000, is being funded by the four municipalities that use the facility — Athens Borough and township, and Sayre and South Waverly boroughs. Athens Borough’s share of those expenses will be $175,000. A representative of Public Financial Management Inc. reported that eight Banks were contacted regarding this line of credit. Five of those ...
