Bad habits should not be continued in 2011. Economist predicted 2011 as a tough one for the financial market. They predicted that conditions of the financial market will remain same as was in previous fiscal. They uttered it is likely to be renewable year for economy. Economic experts have five Financial Predictions for the year 2011.
1. Home Sales Will Be Fall
Economists predicted an overall decline of 7% in the sales of home product. They termed this year as another continuation of decrease in the sales of house-hold products. It would be a dark year for the housing market. Consumers will be inadequate in showing the positive attitude in buying market. The reason behind such behavior of consumer is the soar job market.
They have now limited opportunities in the job market. A recent study shows that nearly 70% of Americans will not buy a new house. They rent a house instead. Preference will be given to the rent house in this tough fiscal condition. Predict a good future of housing schemes in 2011, is out of the question.
2. Student Loans Will Cut Down
News of student loans will be seen in Newspapers and Channels. Due to the sour jobs market, the demand in student loans is high and supply is too short to meet such demand. Weak jobs market and increasing loan default rates will cause a stir in students.
Many lenders will allow borrowers who owe more than $30,000 in principal and interest to extend the term beyond the standard 10 years, thus reducing monthly payments. The amount of interest you pay will increase, though, particularly if you extend payments over the maximum term of 25 years.
3. Modest Improvements in Job Creation
2011 will be tough one for job hunters. Post recession era may not help the degree holders to get the job of their choice. According to statistics more than 15 million Americans are unemployed. And they surely are going to reconsider their career planning. There will be no room for old job now.

Taking advantage of falling prices, buyers have stormed back to the market, surging the sales of previously owned homes in July, due to lower interest rates and a tax credit for first-time homeowners.
According to the National Association of Realtors, the number of existing home sales rose 7.2 percent in July from June, whereas the sales of condos and single-family homes each rose for the month. It was the largest monthly gain since the group began tracking existing home sales in 1999.

The number of homeowners falling behind on their mortgage payments has reached the highest level in 12 years. The banks have been accused of cashing in on struggling households as the number increases.
The charges imposed on home owners in arrears by Britain’s high street lenders have been described as unfair by politicians and economists.
According to The Treasury Select Committee the lenders are charging as much as £150 for a visit by a debt counselor and £35 for sending a letter or making a phone call. These are excessive charges that go beyond covering administrative costs and are used to boost profits which is intolerable.

It is shown from Japan consumer price Index that their economy is moving towards deflation the overall sales show that the consumption of different commodities might not be supporting prices. The government has announced to pass a budget for 2009/10 probably on Friday. Government is facing immense pressure to spend more in order to stimulate consumer price index.
The main reason of this deflation is a slide in oil prices as the government makes efforts to pull out the country from deepening recession period.
There has been a larger fall in prices than what was expected in February retail sales that are yet another bad sign for the exports, as they are Japan’s main engine of growth.
Japanese inflation rate remains fixed in February, but economists warned that the country will face the deflation as soon as the global downturn hits demand at home and abroad.
In December the figure of the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rises 0.2% but become flat in January, in this CPI the volatile fresh food prices were excluded. The CPI remains unchanged from a year earlier although it was expected that there would be a small drop.
Prices slid by 0.1 percent on per year basis in the “core-core” index, which excludes the fresh food and energy prices.
