In today's mortgage market, mortgage borrowers are facing a torrid time, with lenders removing mortgage products every day, changing rates and becoming much more cautious with their lending. Although the rates have come down there has been a significant drop in applications and lending on mortgages.
John Porter from The Debt Counsellors www.debtcounsellors.co.uk said today. "Many people are facing a real challenge of gaining a mortgage that's right for them. The only people who really benefit from the rate lowering are the people on tracker rates. Although it can help with affordability, the overall savings are fairly small. On a £125,000 mortgage, which is the average in the UK, the saving in interest is about £26 per month. The real issue is the amount of lending going on, and how tough it is now to get a mortgage"....

Latin American private equity activity remains robust for the first half of 2007 according to the just released Venture Equity Latin America's Mid-Year Report.
Findings in the report include details on fund raising, investment, and exits. Investment into Latin America is on pace to exceed last year's near record levels, with roughly $2.3 billion being invested in the first half of 2007. Brazil and Mexico dominate the activity, but as certain sectors in these countries are becoming inundated with private equity funds both locally and from abroad, lower valuations make the rest of Latin America a more attractive option. For example, the Andean region received $376 million in investment so far this year. This number is not completely dominated by Chile (as was the case in 2006) meaning that other countries in the Andean region are beginning to see a greater equity presence.... (Continue reading)
