FINANCE FACTS\n\nA Monthly Publication on Consumer Financial Behaoior  \nAny or all the material in this publication may be quoted or reproduced.  \nFEBRUARY 1968  \n# CONSUMER SENTIMENT\n\nProspects are for high level of consumer spending in 1968 but no pros-pect of a boom even if there should be no tax increase.  \nConsumer sentiment deteriorated during the last quarter of 1967,ac-cording to findings by the Survey Research Center of The Universityof Michigan.Primarily because consumers believe that inflationaryprice increases are in the making,business prospects were viewedin November 1967 with less optimism than in August.  \nIndex of Consumer Sentiment declined steadily and substantially fromNovember 1965 to November 1966.Some 60%of the 1966 decline wasrecovered during the first nine months of 1967,but about 40%of thatrecovery was lost from August to November 1967.Index stood at  \n92.9 in November,down from 96.5 in August 1967.  \n# CONSUMER BALANCE SHEET\n\nAsset and debt position of American consumer at end September 1967showed 18.8 to 1 asset-to-debt ratio of all assets and debts excludingthose involving homeownership where ratio was 2.4 to 1.Ratio of allassets to debts was 7.4 to 1.Owner's equity stood at 86.4%of con-sumer assets on September 30,1967.  \nCurrent assets were $1,488 billion with $301 billion in currency andbank deposits,$131 billion in savings shares,$295 billion in insuranceand pension reserves,$128 billion in government securities and $633billion in corporate and other securities.NCFA's estimate of the valueof investment company and other preferred and common shares ownedby,consumers at end September reflects an 18%rise in stock pricesduring first nine months of 1967.  \nFixed assets included $541 billion in homeownership and $311 billionas value of durable goods for a total of $852 billion.(Value of con-sumer held durable goods is total consumer durable purchases October1958 through September 1967 depreciated 10%annually.)Total con-sumer assets as of September 30,1967 were at $2,340 billion.Currentliabilities stood at $96 billion and fixed liabilities of mortgage debt at$222 billion to bring total liabilities to $318 billion.  \nNet worth of American consumer-total assets minus liabilities-was  \n$2,022 billion at end September 1967  \nGross National Productand Its Components  \n## CONSUMER CREDIT\n\nConsumers added more to their instalment debt in November than inany other month in 1967.The net increase in outstandings on aseasonally adjusted basis amounted to $418 million,or $5 billion an-nual rate.Largest advances were in other consumer goods paperand personal loans.In general,new borrowing was up in November,while the rate of repayments was off from its earlier high.  \nExpansion in instalment credit was running at an annual rate of $3.3billion for the first 1l months of 1967.This was substantially less thanthe $6.1 billion rise for all of 1968.A major factor in the 1967 slow-down was the relatively fast pace at which consumers repaid theirinstalment debt.Repayments were especially large in the second andthird quarters,rising just about as much as new credit extensionsduring that period.  \nAt end of November consumer credit outstanding totaled $96.8 billionof which $20.1 billion was noninstalment.Of the $76.7 billion instal-ment credit outstanding,$31.2 billion was for autos,$20.3 billion forother consumer goods,$21.4 billion in personal loans,and $3.8 billionfor home repair and modernization loans.  \nGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT  \nGross national product increased $16.4 billion in the fourth quarterto a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $807.6 billion,according topreliminary estimates.About half of the 2%gain in the fourth quar-ter was in the physical volume of output and half was attributable toprice rises.  \nFourth quarter gain was about the same as in the summer quarter,fol-lowing smaller increases in the opening two quarters of 1967.Almostone-third of the fourth quarter rise was attributable to inventory in-vestment,","cbCaifWEV2PEDanF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifWEV2PEDanF","pdf",1275216,"English","# CONSUMER SENTIMENT\n#
