More Bank Trouble
Re: More Bank Trouble
Let me guess, in your country savings accounts offer very low rates of interest, mortages are the preferred form of investment and the housing market is in a precarious situation, added to that loans and credit cards have high rates of interest and large numbers of people in debt cannot afford.
As a result defaulting including on mortgages has become a problem again, and without the income stream, banks are starting to fail?
IF I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but the housing market is overheating here in the UK and looking like a crash could happen soon.
The average house price here is a quarter of a million pounds.
The average wage here is less than £27k a year.
The average savings account interest rate is 2.14%, which is pathetic.
Savings accounts should offer 1/4 to 1/2 the interest they offer on loans / credit cards.
