Anyway, it finally hit me. last week I wanted an unsecured personal loan from natwest and i received a quote for 7.1% on 25k. (I was just curious to see what I could get really). Yesterday, the same loan was 8.9% and BOE rates were cut by 25bps. That's a hell of a tightening! 1.8% in a week! I wonder what credit card APR's look like.... Might be interesting to measure the changes in the price of bank loans, afterall private consumption is the main driver of most economies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
