Economists see borrowing costs falling as rates ease
The Associated Press reports that business borrowing costs have hit a two year low as major banks cut their prime lending rate to 11.5 percent and the Federal Reserve lowered its discount rate to 9 percent. Economists forecast further rate declines next year and a slower recovery, with the National Association of Business Economists predicting a 10.5 percent prime rate by year end 1983 and a 3.3 percent GNP growth next year. The news comes as savings and bank deposit rates adjust after a six month T bill auction, and steel production slides to a 4.6 percent drop last week. National electric rates rose nearly 10 percent, lifting the average homeowner bill to about $36 monthly.
