Consumer Credit in May 2007
Consumer credit rose at an annual rate of 6.4 percent in May 2007, far above the small 1.1 percent gain of April. The increase was propelled by a surge in the category that includes credit cards, which rose at a rate of 9.8 percent. The jump in credit card debt was the largest since a 14.5 percent rate of increase in November. The category of consumer credit that includes auto loans was also up in May, rising at a 4.4 percent rate after a 1.7 percent gain in April. The size of the increase was nearly double what economists had been forecasting.
