Cost of credit
Marianne Hanson , an economist at the Confederation , the numbers in the period reflect the high cost of credit , which induces a more cautious approach when engaging families and renew loans and financing .
Higher interest rates and more modest gains in income lead to less favorable conditions for the debt . " The less favorable credit terms , in addition to increasing the commitment of income, also influence the perception of households regarding ability to pay . After reaching the lowest level in the time series in the previous month , increased the percentage of families who reported not afford to pay your overdue bills , "says the economist .
