Q. Explain about Banking Cycle?
An economic cycle that results from cyclical changes in the attitudes of banks toward lending risk. When economic times are good, bankers become optimistic that their loans would be repaid, and therefore they expand their lending. More credit means even stronger economic times and so on. Opposite takes place when economy becomes weaker: bankers begin to fear more defaults on their loans therefore they issue fewer loans, and henceforth economy weakens even further.
