The study shows the trend of loans for the past five years, the types of loans that Societe Generale advances to its customers as identified by the study respondents. Personal Loans, Auto Loans, School Fees Loans and Finance Lease. The study shows that the bank recorded the lowest bad debt ratio in 2013 and highest in 2015.

bad credit loans are intended to provide practical help to finance, in particular to those with poor credit score. These loans are flexible and can be obtained without any problem.
Peoples had accumulated assets of $556m. These assets were funded by short term consumer deposits, consisting largely of 3-month fixed rate savings certificates. These savings certificates were highly affected by interest rate fluctuations. The long term loans provided to people generate interest earnings which are do not increase or decrease with the interest rate fluctuations. Therefore, there was a mismatch between the interest rates earned by the bank and the interest rates that it had to give
Thinking about buying a new car under the government CARS program? If you are like many people with poor credit, buying a new car might seem like an impossible dream. There are ways to get a bad credit car loan, but you will have to be more flexible and shop around a lot more than a prime candidate with excellent credit would. If you plan ahead, getting a car loan with bad credit still is possible.
As inventories and account receivable steadily increased, the firm distressingly opted for a short-term solution. By means of long-term lending in 1994 and higher short-term credit in 1994 and 1995, SDI chose to temporarily resolve the current issues of the firm without considering the potential long-term ramifications. As illustrated in Table 1, long-term loans remained the same while short-term bank loans increased by 71% between 1994 and 1995; a drastic change within a short span of time (Appendix A). Similarly, as depicted in Table 2, the interest on the firm’s short-term loans rose from 1994 to 1995

Increasing amount of borrowing despite of its consistent profitability came from following reasons. First is the firm’s financial position. As sales have increased by 60% from 1993-1995, the assets that support increase of sales increased by 78% (Exhibit 1 & 2). The increase amount of assets is over the amount of net income (addition to net worth). To meet financial needs, the company received short-term loans from bank, $60 in 1994 and $390 in 1995 (Exhibit 2). The gross profit
Many economist view this current student loan issue in the same realm as the home mortgage crisis. In 2008 The mortgage crisis put the American economy into the biggest recession it had seen since the “Great Depression”. An economist by the name of John T. Harvey is highly regarded for his work in economics. Harvey attended the University of Tennessee, where he received a doctorates degree in economics and political science, and has now taken on the role as a Professor of Economics at Texas Christian University. Harvey wrote an article published on Forbes.com titled “Student Loan Debt Crisis”, where he breaks down the main intricacies of student loan debt.

Recent studies have investigated the impact of the 2007-2009 financial crises on banks’ capital. Berger and Bouwman (2011) emphasised the importance of capital during financial crisis. Their empirical study concludes that banks with solid capital base have some benefits during the crisis than those that are poorly capitalised. Well capitalised banks are more able to withstand the shocks due to liquidity squeeze, and therefore had higher chances of surviving the crisis period. Other benefits accrued to well capitalised banks include increase in their market share and profitability, as customers withdrew their funds from less capitalised to a well-capitalised banks. This conclusion was also reinforced by a recent empirical study conducted Olivier de Bandt et al (2014) on a sample of large French banks over a period of 1993 – 2012. Similarly, Gambacorta and Marques-Ibanez (2011) demonstrate the existence of structural changes during the period of financial crisis. They conclude that banks with weaker core capital positions, greater dependence on market funding and on non-interest sources of income restricted the loan supply more strongly during the crisis period. Using a multi-country panel of banks, Demirgüç-Kunt, Detragiache and Merrouche (2010) find among others results, that during
Diageo’s mixture of the short- and the long-term debt and the currencies can be a subject for concern: having 47% of the debt was raised via short-term commercial papers and thus exposing the company to the refinancing risk in case of the adverse changes in the interest rates. Currencies’ mixture of debt was also quite concerning: with the ca. 50% of operating profits
Sectoral Slumps. A slump in the sectors where financial institutions’ loans and investments are concentrated could have an immediate impact on financial system soundness. It deteriorates the quality of financial institutions’ portfolios and profitability margins, and lowers their cash flow and reserves. In transition economies, these problems may also arise due to lack of progress in the restructuring of state-owned enterprises.
The financial analysis of the balance sheet shows that the percentage of equity in the sources of funds is decreasing while the debt is escalating. Short term liability has compounded from 14% to 39% while long term liability had increased from 16% to 24%. The Debit/equity ratio shows an almost double increase in dependence on borrowed funds between 2007-2008, leading to a greater obligation of fixed interest payment, and a lessor safety margin for long term creditors. An increasing Debit-equity ratio can also create difficulties in raising additional loans. This triggered a potential lack of future financing, considering that Gerhard Schroder property developer had indicated that he was unwilling to continue to provide financial support to the organization. Additionally, they
