December 10, 1996 The maturity structure of household financial assets and liabilities Bank of Canada Review - Winter 1996-1997 Marie-Claude Montplaisir In this article, the author examines the maturity structure of the household sector's balance sheet and the degree of interest rate variability of household loans and financial assets.

The pattern of personal consumption is therefore influenced more by the wealth effects of interest rate changes than by their income effects, and the full impact of a permnent shift in interest rates on consumption will become apparent only after a lag.
