Rising Consumer Debt and Delinquency Rates Raise Concerns for US Economy =============== #be35213b ver:0.22 Rising consumer debt and delinquency rates raise concerns for the US economy as bank credit contracts for the first time since the Great Recession. Higher interest rates and declining economic activity contribute to the decline in lending, prompting warnings of a possible recession.
