That's actually when we might start to see a problem, according to Raj Date, executive director of the Cambridge Winter Center for Financial Institutions Policy. In congressional testimony on March 2, he made the case that as the demand for loans from creditworthy borrowers picks back up, there might not be enough lending to go around. Part of that has to do with many small banks' capital constraints - money they would lend is still tied up in those real estate loans. Just as important, though, other places business owners have looked to for funding in recent years, like home...
...lament about Mexico is that it's "so far from God, so close to the United States." These days it might be more apt to say that Mexico looks so far from Latin America. Mexico was once the region's vocero, its spokesman. But in the past decade, the country's diplomatic role seems to have fallen aside - apparent in Mexico's failure to engage with the coup crisis in Honduras last year - and has been assumed by its South American rival Brazil.

Many firms outside of financial services have surprisingly solid balance sheets, Manyika points out, and might be wooed into investing sooner rather than later. That would drum up sales for the firms they'd be buying equipment from...
...dungeon career? As a policy I try not to give advice to aspiring dommes; if you belong there, you'll find your way. And if the time comes for you to leave, you'll find your way. But prepare for surprises - if you are anything like me, you might catch glimpses of things you weren't expecting in other people and in yourself. Ironically, it can be a humbling experience...
