Government Sees Profit From New Credit Cuts
Washington Aug. 6 AP The Federal Reserve cut bank reserve requirements to free up about 1.8 billion dollars for loan or investment this month. The move follows earlier reductions this year and eases funding while the government borrows to cover a growing gap between income and outlays. Banks in key cities will have about 30 billion more in lending capacity, with country banks adding hundreds of millions. Government borrowing could rise as the fiscal year widens its deficit, while business borrowing may climb toward fall.
