Resumo: |
The total balance and volume of new concessions; personal loans, and consumer finance comes have been experiencing growth in a consistent form since 2000. It s been several years since we ve seen this kind of movement in Brazil. The objective of this work is to try to understand and search for probable explanations for this behavior. The different kinds of credit analyzed were the credit card, the personal loan, the guaranteed check and the direct credit to the consumer. The work analyzed some possible reasons for restricting credit, such as uncertainty in regards to the macroeconomic scenario, restrictive monetary policies, more risk of insolvency, among others. It was verified that the banks actively manage the two sides of the balance sheet, that is, the assets and the liabilities. The work also shows that, most likely the credit increase was due to the need the financial institutions had in increasing their profitability in a low inflationary environment. In other words, the banks felt they needed to take on more risk in regards to the allocation of their asset in order to obtain a higher yield. This way the banks chose to increase the credit supply for their individual customers, that is, in a spread out form, in order to mitigate a possible loss. In this analysis a reference was made to the Post-Keynesian Banking Firm Theory. This paper also tries to evaluate the customer s motives for increasing their credit demand. It is presumed that ahead of a suitable scenario with stability in the price indexes, the consumers can better plan their consumption. And, in this context, it makes it possible for people to increase their consumption and therefore the need for more credit, for example, of durable goods by through long term financing. The theories of limited rationality and periodical choice have been used as reference in order to explain the increase of demand. Considering a predetermined volume in regards to the offer of credit, this paper attempts to show that the level of interest rates significantly explains part of the growth in demand. All in all, this paper proofs that the credit that grows the most and that explains the accented growth is the consigned credit, which customarily uses the most attractive interest rates |
