Similar Stories to Big Banks Are Raking In Record Profits. Yet Lending Is Slowing Down. Why? on Bing News

As banks reap ever greater returns, a curious disconnect has emerged. Profits are rising, but lending is not. "JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and PNC all reported another quarter of healthy profits, most of which will end up in shareholders' pockets," The New York Times reports. "Overall, lending at the four banks grew only 2.1 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier." That's down from an increase of 3 percent in the first quarter and 4.6 percent in 2016.
