For electricity they say its better to have expensive power than have no power at all. Wonder whether this can also apply to credit. Would we rather have expensive credit or no credit at all. Better no credit than sickeningly expensive credit that cripples industry players such as what we are witnessing COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU

Better no credit than sickeningly expensive credit that cripples industry players such as what we are witnessing There are two sides in this credit market. There is the borrower and the lender. The borrower is looking for cheap credit while the lender is looking for inflation beating returns with minimal risks. The govt has only looked at one side of the equation i.e the borrower. What incentives has the Govt given the lender to make him lend at the rates they are dictating. Is the Govt willing to act a Guarantor of those loans “Invest in yourself. Your career is the engine of your wealth.”
