Canadian wartime curb on instalment buying takes effect next week
Canadian press reports that the wartime prices and trade board will restrict instalment buying and borrowing starting Oct 14. Down payments rise to at least one third for most goods and 50 percent for autos, with 12 to 18 month repayment and minimum $5 monthly payments. The regulation covers new and used goods and dozens of categorized items. Finance Minister Isley warns further civilian buying restrictions may follow to curb inflation during the war.
