DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9b793n/consumer_credit) has announced the addition of the "Consumer Credit in the UK - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2018" report to their offering.

Consumer credit increased throughout 2014, as economic recovery gained momentum

Consumer credit growth has shown consistent signs of growth in 2014, for the first time since before the financial crisis. This is in a large part due to consumer confidence also recording a positive number for the first time since the credit crunch, low interest rates and a steadily growing GDP, as nearly every category of lending has grown up to July 2014. Demand for and availability of credit also grew in both the second and third quarters of 2014, which has been a key factor.
