As the personal loans are stuck on fixed rates, some very attractive and competitive mortgage rates are currently being offered by many lenders. Thus if you have other debts in addition to your mortgage, this could be a good time to consider reviewing your finances.
It is possible that you may be paying much higher interest on your personal loans. Moreover, if you have any outstanding credit-card balances, this would mean that you may be paying between 15% and 20% interest each year.
Also, due to the recession, credit card providers are much more reluctant to give credit to new customers. This has made switching of credit cards much more difficult. It is not possible now for customers to switch their debt to another card company in order to get a zero interest rate for a while.

Is the world heading toward a zero rate policy? This question is being asked by hundreds of economists and businessmen. As evidence of deep recession is unfolding, bankers and economists are predicting that UK interest rates can hit zero any time now. The Bank of Japan’s decision to lower its key policy rate to 0.10 percent from 0.30 percent followed by US Federal Reserve Bank’s dramatic move is more proof to that fact that world is heading toward a global flat zero interest rate.
The Bank of Japan’s policy board voted 7-1 to cut the uncollateralized overnight call rate target from 0.3 percent. It was the second cut in less than two months. Japan’s interest rates have gone lower — they were effectively at zero from 2001 to 2006. TOMOKO A. HOSAKA of AFP reports
“The BOJ is in a similar situation to the Fed — the policy rate is down to a critical point, and policy conduct will inevitably shift to full-blooded quantitative easing,” said Tetsufumi Yamakawa, chief Japan economist for Goldman Sachs.

The United States Federal Reserve says it will use “all available tools” to restart economic growth. The central bank’s main interest rate is now the lowest in its history. This week the Fed cut its target rate of one percent for overnight loans between banks to a target range of zero to one-fourth of one percent. The Fed based its decision on weakening economic conditions.
Federal Reserve in Washington
Americans have decreased their spending every month since July — the longest period in at least sixteen years. Unemployment grew to six and seven-tenths percent in November — the highest in fifteen years.
This week’s cut in the federal funds rate was larger than many economists had expected. The Fed also cut its rate for direct loans to banks. And it began paying interest on balances held in the Federal Reserve System.
In the past, cutting rates has been a powerful tool to lift the economy. But President-elect Barack Obama says it is not enough this time.
BARACK OBAMA: “We’re running out of traditional ammunition that’s used in a recession, which is to lower interest rates. They’re getting to be as low as they can go.”

As news continues to pour in that Fed Rates are likely to go near or at zero interest rate level, we think that Fed. should get out of its stunned posture and take more drastic measures like bringing the rates down to zero percent levels. These are indeed difficult times and magnanimity of problems require Fed. to take magnanimous steps. It should act fast and give the economy the much needed fiscal jolt. Unfortunately, Fed has a history of doing too little and too late.
After detailed analysis of issue and reading the material suggested below, we have come to conclusion that there was never before a time, so good ,for adopting zero interest rate policy. we put forth our set of 10 reasons why Fed. should go for it.
- Zero interest rate will encourage investment throughout the economy.
- Zero interest rate will make capital purchases financially more attractive.
- Zero interest rates will encourage people to Invest rather than Lend.
- It will create more jobs as people will make investments in securities or real plant and equipment.
- Zero interest rates are expected to take gas out of Commodities and Gold.
- Probably it is the best tool to get out of depression. (We used it in 1930′s)
- Liquidity trap is just a theoretical construct, not an actual phenomenon.
- Remove the burden on tax payers to bailout banks and stock markets.
- Bank of Japan has successfully used this model for decades to support Its Fiscal System.
- Fed can adopt “Non-Standard” fiscal measures to stimulate growth.
