The same thing is occurring accross the industry. Oh, and in many cases it’s lack of loan demand that is causing loan balances to fall. Banks want to lend; it’s how they make money. Unfortunately for banks there are few credit worthy borrowers looking to add to debt right now.

The 16% inflation rate you heard was based upon annualizing the January inflation rate.
