FICO Scores: More Consumers in Top Range, 800-850

The percentage of US consumers with FICO Scores between 800-850, the top range for credit worthiness, has reached a post-recession high not seen since October 2008, according to FICO Labs researchers.

However, the number of consumers with FICO scores between 700-799 has not rebounded fully to pre-recession levels. That range is considered very good to excellent by most credit providers.

The percentage of consumers between 700-749 (15.5 percent) is the lowest that FICO has recorded since the company began tracking this data in 2005.  And the percentage of consumers falling between 750-799 (19.4 percent) is the lowest that FICO has seen since April 2009.

Why Eurozone Woes are Creating Headwinds for Global Firms

Europe is in crisis — and that has major implications for multinational firms with significant operations in the region. In fact, while much is written about the race by corporations to penetrate emerging markets like China and Brazil, the reality is that the investment by multinationals in Europe dwarfs the assets they have in those fast-growing economies. And the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, along with weak economic growth, is sparking changes in how these firms operate — altering everything from manufacturing strategies to marketing to financial maneuvers.
