The total consumer credit outstanding in the UK as of December 2000 stood at slightly over L128 billion, equating to an approximate non-mortgage debt of L2,810 per adult of working age. The health of the economy has played a part in increasing people's propensity to borrow. Private borrowing continues to grow thanks to low interest rates and high prosperity. Yet, despite the proliferation of buyers, banks are holding firm. The total unsecured consumer credit is predicted to reach L228.6 billion by 2005. Credit cards will continue to account for the bulk of gross advances.
