| An uptrend in mortgage interest rates will cause some slowing of the sales pace but we forecast 2006 to be the second highest year on record. |
|
| It is unlikely that with inflation on an uptrend in the current year, Government would consider any lowering of interest rates. |
|
| And millions live on their nerves, fearing the awful consequences any rise in interest rates could have on them and their families. |
|
| About 65 per cent of HDB loans are at concessionary interest rates, charging 2.6 per cent. |
|
| Desperate American workers are forced to rely on credit card debt at usurious interest rates to pay for basic necessities. |
|
| The fact remains that banks are able to charge usuriously high interest rates because the government secures their monopoly. |
|
| Thanks to the vagaries of interest rates, our mortgages can shoot up at will. |
|
| The Chancellor has overseen low interest rates, high employment and financial stability for several years, a soporific success story. |
|
| I was there when we moved from concessional interest rates through to market rates. |
|
| The interest rates on most regular savings accounts will vary depending on the levels set by the Bank of England every three months. |
|
| The German mortgage market is quite fragmented and interest rates vary according to the type of mortgage lender. |
|
| Low interest rates have helped generate a housing bubble that has lifted real estate prices to ludicrous heights in major parts of the country. |
|
| In spite of the existing low nominal interest rates, the real interest rates in the economy are still high, and also the credit off-take is low. |
|
| The direction of the markets over the coming months will largely be down to American interest rates. |
|
| Once again, Middle Britain is mortgaged to the hilt, spurred by the lowest interest rates in 38 years. |
|
| Some analysts have speculated that the ECB could cut interest rates soon to ward off damage to confidence and growth from tumbling share prices. |
|
| Yet, inexplicably, Treasury officials decided at that time of record-high interest rates to make 30-year bonds noncallable. |
|
| The usual tool is to cut interest rates which usually serves as a disincentive to saving and encourages people to borrow. |
|
| That growth was fuelled by number of factors, not least the bullish market, a strong economy and low interest rates on deposit accounts. |
|
| And a sharp spike in interest rates would hurt some homeowners who have just got their foot on the housing ladder. |
|
|
|
| If oil prices spike upwards and inflation rises, interest rates will go up too. |
|

|
| He was a specialist all his life in the theory of money and interest rates. |
|
| If he had, he might think twice about clamping down on the economy by repeatedly raising interest rates. |
|
| The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates and appears ready to continue to do so for some time. |
|
| Of course, governments can print money and cut interest rates in an attempt to avert deflation. |
|
| Coupled with this is the fact that falling interest rates mean lower repayments for those buying into the market. |
|
| This lowered interest rates and transferred capital from public to private use. |
|
| Central banks also manage liquidity in order to smooth out volatility in the money market interest rates. |
|
| Debt charities are warning consumers to think hard about how to manage their debts as interest rates rise. |
|
| With low interest rates, profit margins on retail deposits have been sharply squeezed. |
|
| That includes not only tax rebates and lower interest rates but lower energy prices as well. |

|
|

|
| Millions of Americans have also followed the example of their British cousins, remortgaging to take advantage of record low interest rates. |
|
| Yet rising U.S. interest rates and a still-strong dollar must be factored into that equation. |
|
| The firm expects interest rates to remain unchanged at least in the first half. |
|
| Consumer spending remains depressed, he added, thanks to Bundesbank obdurateness about interest rates. |
|
| Similarly, to reduce inflationary pressures, the Bank of Canada also increased short-term interest rates. |
|
| Just as interest rates change from time to time so, too, does the benchmark rate against which we stress test. |
|
| It remains likely that US interest rates will rise again later in the year since the risks lie firmly on the side of higher inflation. |
|
| In his essay, he demonstrated the ineffectiveness of interest rates in controlling business cycles. |
|
| A fall in capital expenditure in the aftermath of an investment boom is generally not averted by cuts in interest rates. |
|
| All this upward pressure in demand offsets to a large degree the downward pull of rising interest rates in the national real estate market. |
|
| So 2004 and 2005 are much better years as global recovery eventually transpires and the impact of lower interest rates feeds through. |
|
| With interest rates at a 50-year low, even sticker shock is not enough to deter buyers from snapping up homes. |
|
| This isn't surprising as low interest rates are proving an inadequate stimulant to get European economies moving again. |
|
| Normally a central bank will lower interest rates to increase liquidity and to stimulate economic activity. |
|
| Moves in interest rates are always stimulated by the cost of housing in the south east. |
|
| Instead, the Fed pursued its own stimulative policy, pushing interest rates to the lowest level in a generation. |
|
| In the current climate we have low interest rates and budgets that have been broadly stimulative. |
|
| As interest rates move higher, I would prefer to be in stocks rather than bonds. |
|
| Everyone is on pins and needles, waiting for the Federal Reserve to announce its decision on interest rates within the hour. |
|
|
|
| He says because of the interest rates, he is no longer committed to the Stokvel group he belongs to. |
|
| As the Fed has moved to boost short-term interest rates, long-term interest rates have stayed unexpectedly low. |
|
| The commonplace pessimistic argument points out that since low interest rates have been good for the economy, higher interest rates will be bad. |
|
| So that makes Costello's seeming change of heart on interest rates all the more damning. |
|
| Yet at the same time, domestic demand is coming off the boil, after being heated up by steep tax cuts and super-low interest rates. |
|
| Indeed, a strong case could be made that interest rates are categorically destabilizing. |
|
| The main regulatory constraint in the post-war period was the ceiling on interest rates. |
|
| Higher interest rates may be on the horizon, but are not expected to arrive speedily in the wake of the Budget. |
|
| Conversely, in times of rising interest rates, cyclical stocks fare poorly. |
|
| If the economy improves, inflation accelerates and interest rates rise, your Savings Bond rates will go up, too. |
|
| The money market earns higher interest rates than their savings bank and credit union accounts. |
|
| Third, lowering interest rates will help desynchronize the local economy from the US business cycle. |
|
| Higher interest rates, and the threat of further rises, have had a depressing effect on the market. |
|
| While it might be tempting to leave money on deposit in the hope that interest rates will pick up there is a real problem with that strategy. |
|
| However, in lean years, when interest rates are high, their profits can quickly collapse as provisions for bad debts hurt their bottom lines. |
|
| He said that intervention would include measures to raise the interest rates of central bank SBI promissory notes. |
|
| If the economy improves towards the end of this year, as expected, interest rates will start to rise. |
|
| In an economy with a deflationary bias, interest rates may stay low for years to come. |
|
| Perhaps what is more important is the effect that any change in interest rates might have. |
|
| As the government borrows more to pay for its deficit spending, interest rates rise, and that hurts our entrepreneurial cause. |
|
|
|
| The Bank of England has raised interest rates four times since last November. |
|
| The European Union controls budget deficits, exchange rates and interest rates. |
|
| The increase comes amidst reports that all banks are set to raise interest rates after years of offering cheap credit. |
|
| Last week, both the United States Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank raised interest rates. |
|
| Of course, the market is not immune to the domestic economy and its recent rally is partly explained by a brighter outlook for interest rates. |
|
| A hike in interest rates could have an adverse effect on house prices and in terms of consumer wealth. |
|
| You are able to receive special interest rates that have consistently ranked among the highest in the nation. |
|
| The combination of a steep drop in interest rates and the rapid rise in household debt has fuelled a surge in lending. |
|
| Therefore, even with low interest rates, a rapid recovery is hard to imagine. |
|
| With the rapid fall in interest rates the desire to purchase an annuity diminished. |
|
| And as the price climbed, it has had two key effects, not dissimilar to a rapid rise in interest rates. |
|
| The Fed's Open Market Committee expected to once again ratchet up interest rates by a quarter point when it meets on Tuesday. |
|
| Interest rates on credit cards tend to respond to moves in short-term interest rates, which means they are rising. |
|
| And, in fact, since the early 1990s interest rates have fallen and loan maturities have lengthened on average. |
|
| But today's low interest rates have prevented some policies from earning enough to automatically pay those premiums. |
|
| An annuity guarantees a fixed income for life but is dependent on interest rates at the time of retirement. |
|
| Poole isn't the only Fed official who sees a link between productivity and interest rates. |

|
|
|
| Although these models imply the possibility of negative interest rates, the chance is very low with well chosen parameters. |
|
| And it was the economic rebound that attracted them, not just lower interest rates, she added. |
|
| The negative relationship in the models they review arises from procyclical movements in real interest rates and in inflation. |
|
| Mr Ellis said that with little prospect of a substantial rise in interest rates, house prices were expected to continue increasing. |
|
| There have been too many false dawns so a cut in interest rates would be a timely and wise move. |

|
| There will be no knee-jerk cut in interest rates when the Bank's monetary policy committee meets next month. |
|
| Higher interest rates could cool the red-hot housing market in some parts of the world, Rajan said. |
|
| As the federal red ink runs and interest rates rise, debt is squeezing average Americans harder than ever. |
|
| Already we are seeing downward pressure on both the US dollar and local currency interest rates across the Middle East. |
|
| One thing to note, however, is that it is a good idea for companies to refinance their debt to lower their interest rates. |
|
| And financial markets remain calm, confounding worrywarts who prophesied turmoil once the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates. |
|
| Governments have saved billions by refinancing the national debt at lower interest rates. |
|
| There was also a benefit for many banks from fees which arose when borrowers refinanced their mortgages because of lower interest rates. |
|
| Institutions are rejecting warnings that house prices could collapse because low interest rates are likely to be held far into next year. |

|
| The Japanese, having borrowed the yen at zero interest rates, will then convert the yen into dollars, deutschemarks, and so forth. |
|
|
|
| Since the start of 2005 most banks have started offering preferential interest rates. |
|
| Have your investments languished because of low interest rates and a lethargic stock market? |
|
| At the same time, banks are continuing to strive to attract clients through lower interest rates and other preferential offers. |
|
| Customers are also often attracted to such accounts by the promise of preferential interest rates. |
|
| The markets are poor predictors of either interest rates or exchange policy. |
|
| In the short run, it is made to appear sustainable in some degree by inflation, which causes a country to amortize its debts via interest rates. |
|
| Even with market interest rates at zero, few in Japan want to borrow or invest. |
|
| The Federal Reserve can cut short-term interest rates down to zero, but that won't make consumers feel safer about flying. |
|
| The threat of rising interest rates in the coming months may put a damper on further consumer spending. |
|
| The new vehicle leasing market is heating up as leasers offer more options and new car sales decline due to rising interest rates. |
|
| Monetary expansion also undermines the pool of funding as a result of the consequent decline in interest rates. |
|
| Companies invest when interest rates are low and capital is easy to raise, and then retrench savagely as rates rise. |
|
| He adopted the Lib Dem policy of an independent Bank of England to set interest rates. |
|
| The other dampener would be an increase in interest rates, but the Bank of England has shown no signs it wants to raise them. |
|
| If it weren't for scant inflation and low interest rates, corporate America would have steered right into the middle of a perfect storm. |
|
| But higher interest rates and the abolition of mortgage interest tax relief in April could dampen demand and reduce house price inflation. |
|

|
| If a depositor misses just one payment they can suffer severe penalties especially in an environment where interest rates are falling. |
|
| The world is awash with money as everyone looks to make a decent return at a time of low interest rates and low inflation. |

|
| The rise in interest rates in the first week of March was the second in four months and brought loud protests from politicians. |
|
| Banks have been given the freedom of formulating their own policy for charging penal interest rates with the approval of their boards. |
|
| Alternatively, during the 1980s the Japanese authorities kept interest rates artificially low to help bolster a sluggish world economy. |
|
| These changes have led to a gradual appreciation of the rupiah and allowed Bank Indonesia to begin lowering interest rates. |
|
| When countries like Korea moved to lower their interest rates their currencies appreciated. |
|
| Under flexible rates, central banks need not use interest rates to preserve an exchange-rate peg. |
|
| Losses came in derivatives, which are the complex financial instruments that Freddie Mac uses to hedge against swings in interest rates. |
|
| Second, despite past Fed tightening, corporate interest rates are still attractive enough so as not to crimp borrowing. |
|
| Even after the recent rate hikes, real interest rates remain below average compared with consumer price inflation. |
|
|
|
| Given today's exceptionally low long-term interest rates, the annual cost would be, well, peanuts. |
|
| We are also seeing interest rates creeping up in an effort to stem the flow of borrowing that puts an extra burden on the shoulders of us all. |
|
| There is no way we want to see interest rates creeping up before the end of the year. |
|
| In recent weeks, interest rates offered on fixed-rate mortgages have started to creep up. |
|
| Tighter money and higher interest rates will not be needed for much longer, they tattled. |
|
| Tokyo hopes that its low interest rates make it less attractive to save money, and easier to borrow money for spending. |
|
| With interest rates as low as they are, we're having a hard time trying to make any money on our savings at present. |
|
| These savings accounts lock up money for a few weeks to several years and pay interest rates based on maturity dates and market demand. |
|
| The interest rates on these forms of credit are lower than the average credit card and they're tax-deductible. |
|
| Economists now believe interest rates could peak at 5.5 per cent or rise even sharper if the housing market and borrowing fail to slow. |
|
| If interest rates were to creep up a few percentage points half the country would be facing financial ruin. |
|
| As in the US, there is a sense that the central bank's room for manoeuvre on interest rates is narrowing. |
|
| In such circumstances, there would be some room for manoeuvre on interest rates. |
|
| It could reduce interest rates to the rate of inflation, and stop trying to screw a profit out of borrowers. |
|
| The interest rates are sky-high, and if you lose control just a couple of times you're pretty much screwed. |
|
| It also included the interest rates on the bank loans that the winner would take. |
|
| The price depends on several factors including prevailing interest rates and credit ratings. |
|
| Instead of selling loans with fixed interest rates, they offer tailored rates based on your credit rating. |

|
| Would he allow the Fed to be told how to adjust interest rates by a bumbling Dutchman? |
|

|
| Governments that think low interest rates are always electorally rewarding are riding for a fall. |
|
| The market for convertible bonds in particular has picked up steam as companies rush to raise funds while global interest rates remain low. |
|
| And lower interest rates and fears of a bond market bubble have made fixed-income securities less attractive to some investors. |
|
| The Fed must be careful in raising interest rates for the very simple reason that by moving too quickly, it can choke off growth. |
|
| That, in turn, could mean still-higher interest rates, which could choke off growth. |
|
|
|
| I was simply transferring all the available funds to Beirut to take advantage of the interest rates there. |

|
| In the early 1980s, interest rates were still very high by current day standards and contangos were simply too large to forgo. |
|
| The Halifax suggests that low interest rates and strong consumer confidence is behind the latest surge in prices. |
|

|
| The fall in interest rates has masked evidence that lenders are continuing to surcharge borrowers in the Republic. |

|
| The rise in interest rates would worsen the economic slowdown requiring more potent measures to halt it. |
|
| Families are also paying very high interest rates to legal moneylenders who are operating outside of the mainstream financial system. |

|
| So what is the cause of the low interest rates responsible for the current unsustainable situation? |
|
| With still negative real short-term interest rates in the US and parts of the eurozone, there will be a lot of money around for a while yet. |
|
| Many financial institutions are now insulated against higher interest rates. |

|
| A donkey can avoid bad debts in a climate of strong economic growth, and negative real interest rates. |

| The decision to keep interest rates unchanged looks like a good call. |
|
| The biggest concern for voters was the future of interest rates. |
|
| The stock market has been buoyant, and interest rates have been rising in part because of expectations of higher economic growth. |
|
| Easy money and lower interest rates won't provide a quick fix. |
|
| As long as our economic cycle is wedded to that of the US, EMU will mean that our interest rates will be low when they should be high and high when they should be low. |
|
| Low long-term interest rates keep the recovery jogging along. |
|
| While the cut in interest rates should alleviate some of the most acute pressures facing the economy, the UK economic climate has worsened and we are facing new dangers. |
