Fed Survey Warns of Structural Strain in U.S. Credit System as Lending Tightens

Banks in the U.S. are making it harder for people and businesses to get loans, according to a new Federal Reserve.

Lending rules are stricter, and it’s becoming more difficult to qualify for credit cards, car loans, mortgages, and business financing.At the same time, more borrowers are missing payments, especially on credit cards and auto loans. These signs suggest growing stress in the credit system, which could lead to slower economic growth if not addressed.
