One-third looking to spend more in low interest rate climate

Results of a Gallup Poll conducted during the week of November 4-9, 1996 revealed that 33% of Canadians are more likely to take out a loan or make credit purchases during this period of low interest rates. One-third of Canadians surveyed are also more likely to purchase a home, while 22% are less likely to purchase on credit or take out a loan, regardless of the status of interest rates. Canadians under age 40 appear more willing to seek credit than do those over 50.
