Banks will defy Swan and raise rates 9 February 2010
Big banks are likely to defy the federal government and raise interest rates on their standard variable mortgage products by significantly more than rate movements imposed by the Reserve Bank say analysts.The treasurer Wayne Swan announced on the weekend that the federal government would end the government guarantee for wholesale bank debt at the end of March 2010.
