The Auto Loan Crisis and Its Impact
The auto loan crisis is escalating, with one in four auto loans currently delinquent, raising concerns for banks and consumers alike. Many individuals who were unqualified for loans have been purchasing vehicles above their means, leading to a situation reminiscent of the subprime mortgage crisis. As delinquency rates rise, banks are becoming hesitant to lend, tightening credit access, and creating a ripple effect that impacts other lending sectors. With repo rates increasing and vehicles being returned to banks, financial institutions face significant losses, which could lead to broader economic instability.
