New rules for banks
Authority FSA now proposes that there should be new rules for banks. They want to force the banks to show how high the interest of their customers tend to have on average.

One of those who work at FSA’s Malin Omberg. She believes that those who buy housing will often get cheaper loans in the future:
– I am convinced that this will give consumers a better negotiating position when they will take home and then it will hopefully lower costs also says Malin Omberg.

Politicians decide
