Higher GI Loan Interest Little Help
VA data show that raising GI loan interest from 4 to 4.5 percent last May did not raise loan activity. July approvals fell to 25,453 from April’s 26,000, with May and June near 24,000 and 26,000 respectively. VA official T. B. King says money demand for higher-yield investments limits GI loan funds, but expects a 60 to 90 day pickup as offices report rising supply.
