Default Right time for loan

Hey,
with the way that the market is going at the moment, Oil prices going up, the cost of living shooting through the roof, is it a good time to get involved in a personal loan, because the government may drop interest rate to alleviate the pressure that has been placed on families?
Cheers

Rising inflation results in rising interest rates. Not to mention the economy sizzled in the last quarter, believe it or not. So I wouldn't count on interest rates dropping much if at all.

There's never a "good" time to take a personal loan unless there is some significant financial need that you have to meet. I don't think economic conditions matter one way or the other.

Why are you in need of a loan? What will you be using the money for?
