| Description | Consumer credit is considered a good indicator of the potential future spending levels, and shows the extent to which benchmark interest rates such as the fed funds rate and prime rate have manifested themselves at the consumer level (it can take six months to a year for macro interest rates to work their way down to consumers). |
