S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Consumer demand for credit grew by 8% in August as against July this year, according to the Serasa Experian indicator. In the comparison between August 2011 and August 2010, there was growth of 14%. According to Serasa Experian, the company that conducts the survey, the growth in demand for credit was a reflection of Fathers\u2019 Day and of the greater number of working days during the month (there were 23 in August and 21 in July this year).<\/p>\n
Consumer demand for credit grew by 13.1% from January to August 2011. In 2010, the demand grew by 16.4%. According to Serasa Experian, in 2011 the demand for credit will tend to be lower than last year. <\/p>\n
The survey shows that consumers in the lower income range sought the most credit in August. Out of those who earn up to 500 Brazilian reals (US$ 300) per month, demand for credit grew by 12.4% in August as against July. Among those who earn from 5,000 to 10,000 reals (US$ 3,000 to US$ 6,000), demand for credit grew by 5.1%. <\/p>\n
Out of all Brazilian regions, the one in which demand for credit grew the most as against August was the Northeast: 20.3%. The lowest rate was recorded in the Southeast, at 3.8%.<\/p>\n
