Reasons of slump in Great Britain

The most important is, which part of getting deposit bank uses for giving a credit. On the normal situation this rate was always lower than 100 %. For example, for years the British Westminster Bank ( today National Westminister Bank - NatWest)  had 86,5 % of each of deposit for the credit. So, the bank gave the credit of 865 pounds of the credit that had from each thousand pounds transferred to the bank as the deposit. The rest, which means 135 pounds was transferred to the central banks as the obligatory reserve. Sooner or later these 865 pounds were again at the bank in the form of deposit and again the appropriate sum of money (748 pounds) was lent, and the rest reserved. The repetition over and over again would give the opportunity to making from the initial deposit of 1000 pounds the sum of 6410 pounds of new money. For the entire time the bank would increase the reserve and earn on the interest from the investment credits.
This system guaranteed that there bank was always enough cash at bank for everyone, who would withdraw deposit (if everyone comes at the same time, there will not be enough money, but this situation is unlikely). The system stood on its head. Thanks to ‘the modern financial instruments’ (like secularization, hedging, leveraging, datives etc.) banks had the possibility to lend much more money that obtained. For example, according to the report by Morgan Stanley Research, already two years ago at the British banks the proportion of the credits to the deposits was on average 137 %. That is, on the each 1000 pounds of deposits, banks gave 1370 pounds of credits. In case of Northern Rock, which on autumn 2007 was in the face of fall and after few months was taken over by the government, the proportion of credits to deposits was as much as 322 %. The banks raised loans on the ‘international markets’ and in the credits form withdrew money, which did not have, granted that would have them in the future.

Production in Great Britain
According to recently published information the British industrial production decreased about 0, 5% on May 2009, beside the last month, what makes less probable that the economy will come back to the growth phase already in the second quarter.
It was predicted early that the factory production on May would be about 0,2% higher than on April. According to the British National Statistical Office, the all industrial production (together with the mining industry and the public institutions) fell down on May beside April about 0,6 %, even that supposed its growth about 0,2 %. 17,2 % of the British national gross products falls on the industry. The industrial production was about 12,7% lower on May than the year before.
However, in the first quarter 2009 was the biggest fall of the Gross Domestic
Product in Great Britain from 1958.

Earlier the Statistical Office estimated the fall of GDP on 1, 9 %. Year by year the British GDP fell down in the first quarter 2009 on the record level of 4, 9%.
The sort-term perspective for the British economy does not fill with the optimism and the next crump can not be excluded – estimated by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and also the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). According to OECD: ‘economy will slowly grow the unemployment considerably, and the finance minister should do much more to repair the public financial condition’. The results of limitation of banks business credit and the public debt growth will be higher interest rates and inflation. Two of them are harmful for the perspective of the lasting growth- by OECD.
