US consumer borrowing up S$25b, the most in a year

WASHINGTON — Consumer borrowing in the United States climbed in May by the most in a year as Americans put more purchases on their credit cards and took out more school and car loans.

The US$19.6 billion (S$25 billion) increase in credit followed a revised US$10.9 billion gain the previous month that was less than initially reported, Federal Reserve figures showed yesterday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey called for a US$12.5 billion advance.
