Vol. 10 No. 17 Des Moines, Iowa August 17,1981 Sees Interest Rate Decline URRENT economic trends “C are placing downward pres sure on interest rates,” said Dr. Richard S. Smith, North western National Bank of Minnea polis economist on the release of an appraisal of credit conditions in the bank’s economic publiR-s - SM,TH cation, “ Northwest Economic Indi cators.” According to Dr. Smith, “ interest rate volatility over the past two years has been a result of unsettled conditions on both the supply and demand sides of the credit markets. As the Federal Reserve’s policies toward money supply growth become increasingly more ingrained, future interest rate movements will be relatively more determined by the demand for credit.” “ Consumer credit demands should be moderate for the remainder of the year,” Mr. Smith said. “ The main causes of this will be an unwillingness on the part of consumers to take on much additional debt, combined with an increase in their ability to finance new purchases out of current income. New mortgage credit also will remain weak despite the large pent-up demand for housing. Record high mortgage rates will decline only slowly and many prospective home purchasers will remain unable to afford any upgrading in residence quality.” “ Business credit demands are also likely to remain moderate over the second half of 1981,” he said. “ Efforts to control inventories and capital spending will continue. In addition, accelerated depreciation will improve internal cash flow .” A considerable amount of business credit demand will shift from the short to the long-term market, Dr. Smith noted. “ The Reagan Administration’s tax and budget targets through fiscal 1982 have been approved by Congress,” he said. “ However, uncertainty exists regarding the inflationary impact of deficits over the near future. Particularly, interest rate levels in excess of those assumed by the Administration over the next year could have a substantial adverse impact on federal government spending.” Regarding the financial markets, Dr. Smith said that positive factors currently outweigh negative ones for the remainder of 1981. However, market stability will stay fragile at best until confidence in the fiscal responsibility of the federal govern ment is re-established. In summary, Dr. Smith said, “ Credit demand conditions over the remainder of this year should allow a cyclical easing in the cost o f credit. Private sector credit demands should remain moderate into next year, unless a rekindling of inflationary expectations provokes a new surge of anticipatory spending. Federal gov ernment deficit trends remain the major key to this question. The financial market nervousness seen so far this year has been justified. Market stability will not be regained until actual government spending and taxation performance matches the Administration’s projections.” □ Iowa News The Iowa Bankers Association’s first Commercial Lending Seminar will be held September 2-3 at the Hotel Ft. Des Moines. The seminar will focus on credit analysis, forecasting, loan pricing and manage ment techniques.
