Debt Advisers Direct comment on BoE Financial Stability Report
12/05/2008
Commenting on the Bank of England’s Financial Stability Report, Melanie Taylor of Debt Advisers Direct said: “The experts seem divided on whether or not we’re past the worst of the credit crunch, and the BoE’s Report reads as a warning not to talk ourselves into an avoidable recession.”
“Despite the complex language, it’s a simple message to lenders: you were too eager to lend money, but now you’re being too cautious, and neither extreme is healthy, as a healthy economy depends on consumers and businesses having access to a reasonable level of credit. Far from denying there are still problems ahead, the BoE is simply stating that too much pessimism will discourage the risk-taking and confidence that lead to recovery.”
“In figures, the BoE thinks that future losses from sub-prime investments will be about half as much as the market currently believes. And its offer to exchange mortgage debts for government bonds shows it’s confident about this assessment – the BoE is ‘putting its money where its mouth is’.”
