Inter Bank Lending

This post will look at lending between banks. Interbank Lending has seen some dramatic changes due to the financial colapse. The graph I found gives a very nice timeline with comments.

You can see the steady rise as confidence is growing in the US markets. With only the odd annomaly, 9/11 and in 05/06, it rises from $200,000 million to $500,000 million in 8 years. Then, due to the Lehman bankrupcy credit stopped flowing. This is one of the reason the economy has suffered to much. Low levels of interbank lending has stopped the US coping with it's dept as well as it could have done. Even with the federal reserves payments, it was unable to stop the financial crisis worsening.

Change in Scene

Since becoming a blogger i've noticed how most blogs focus on the same thing. Albeight, my main interests are sport, film and music, i'm sure the blogging community have had an overdose on these subjects. For this reason i've decided to change my SportFilmMusic blog into one for trend rates and graphs. This has been a subject i've been following for many years now and i'm sure i'm not the only one. My new Trends and Graphs blog should give you an insight into interesting graphical representations and help you learn how to analyse them. If Trends and Graphs aren't up you're street, then why not keep following and see if it's the sort of thing you could get into.

I'll start with a graph i'm sure you've all seen before.

This graph shows the increase in average global temperature over the last 150 years. I'm sure you've all heard the various aurguments about global warming. Man made, natural phenomenon, or cows farting? I believe it has various factors, but one thing is for sure, it will effect us and we need to plan ways to cope with it.
