Consumer debt is consistent
with bankruptcy filings
Research by the Federal Reserve indicates that household debt is at a
record high relative to disposable income. Some analysts are concerned
that this unprecedented level of debt might pose a risk to the financial
health of American households. A high level of indebtedness among
households could lead to increased household delinquencies and
bankruptcies, which could threaten the health of lenders if loan losses
are greater than anticipated. (click on the image to view
