Banks have been in a bind. They want to make more loans so they can better compete against non-banking lenders and boost profits, but they have been hindered by tighter rules imposed after the 2008 financial crisis that require them to hold aside extra money to cover potential losses on the loans they have already made. This leaves less fresh capital available to pursue new lending or expand the company.
