LIBOR’s Low Leaves Lenders Looking Lame (But Is It That Simple?)

I was up at the crack of dawn today for a quick comment on Wake Up To Money on BBC 5 Live, where the topic was the fact that LIBOR rates have now fallen substantially. 3 month LIBOR, which was so far out of kilter a few months ago and used as the main excuse behind lack of funds is now down at 0.75%, basically back to a “normal” level.

If this is the case, then why have rates not decreased?

For me Lenders at the moment are pricing based on three areas; cost, profit and fear.
