NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Newtek Business Services, NASDAQ: NEWT, The Small Business Authority, announced the release of the SB Authority Index for August 2011 reaching 108.06 points. The SB Authority Index is up .76% from July 2011. Approved SBA loan volumes, the Russell microcap index and Retail Sales caused the increase in the index.

It is not difficult to be bearish on the prospects for the US economy these days. By late May, consumer confidence was tailing off, and there were clear signs that the housing market -- long employed as a virtual cash machine by US homeowners -- was softening considerably. With the relentless growth in the US trade imbalance showing no sign of abating, the dollar shrugged off the potentially beneficial effects of rising interest rates and continued its leisurely slide against most other major currencies. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Asia, where many countries have been buying dollars at such a rate that their combined foreign exchange reserves reach into the trillions.

They can ask for lower interest rates, look for another lender offering more beneficial terms or substitute equity for debt. They can also sell their assets and use the cash to pay debts. When negotiating for better terms, borrowers should show lenders that they are capable of paying back. Borrowers must keep in mind that a coherent and conceivable debt restructuring plan is the important tool in revitalizing their business.

Over the past several decades, central banks around the world have been pretty successful at dramatically lowering inflation rates. There is good reason to believe that inflation is harmful even at what one might consider relatively moderate rates -- annual rates of perhaps 5% to 10%. The evidence of this claim began to accumulate in the mid-1990s. At the time, most economists believed that, under certain conditions, inflation could be a good thing. A key insight of the recent theories is that inflation exacerbates so-called frictions in credit markets. One way inflation might affect economic growth through the banking sector is by reducing the overall amount of credit that is available to businesses. Several economists have found that countries with high inflation rates have inefficien...
