CREDIT CYCLE
Cycle encompassing a borrower’s accessibility to credit. First, the cycle goes through periods when borrowers can easily obtain loans, characterized by lower interest rates and lending requirements, and higher available credit. Second, it is followed by contraction period where interest rates escalate and creditors impose tighter lending requirements, hence a decrease in the number of entities that can borrow. And lastly, risks are cut down for lenders that marks the beginning of this cycle.
