What causes an increase in consumer debt.
- Lower Real interest rates. Low interest rates mean that loans are more attractive; therefore, it encourages a variety of borrowing, such as credit cards and loans.
- Confidence. Consumer confidence is important for encouraging people to borrow against the expectations of future earnings.
- Economic Growth. Higher economic growth tends to increase consumer confidence. When incomes are rising, people expect them to keep rising
- Supply of Finance. Greater supply of loans and credit cards. Banks more willing to lend to people with bad credit histories.
