Tight Money Crunch Is Highly Unlikely
New York based economists say the sharp rise in the prime rate on corporate loans is unlikely to quickly cool inflation. They doubt a repeat of the 1969 70 credit crunch, noting a plentiful money supply and borrower profit incentives despite higher costs. The Fed has moved to curb lending, yet loan totals rose about 40 percent this year. James J. O Leary of U S Trust notes many firms will borrow to pursue profits even at higher rates.
