Scope- Part of the UK Plastic Cards series this report provides insight into what impact the recession will have on the cards market
- Using the latest figures, the report focuses on the likely impact from the rise in unemployment on write-offs and repayments

- By using the latest available market data the report offers concrete signs of the early impact of the downturn, and likely future outcomes
Highlights
With rising levels of unemployment the UK cards market is faced with a ticking time bomb. Despite a stagnating economy, the UK credit card market remained buoyant until unemployment began to rise. With unemployment estimated at 2.2m and rising this will impact at all levels of the cards market as balances rise and card write-offs increase.
Levels of household consumer debt have risen to problem levels during recent years, despite an economic boom. Now faced with a worsening climate, many consumers already on the brink of insolvency will be pushed over the edge. Even for non-insolvent cardholders, balances are growing while repayment rates decline to problem levels for issuers.
Consumer behaviour is changing faster than the rate of economic slowdown. Spending levels, and transaction values began to fall before the full impact of the downturn was felt by consumers. Now that consumers are feeling real hardship spending levels will continue to decrease as consumer confidence remains low.
