Article Abstract:

Uncertain bank lending activities are sending alarm signals to businesses, much more than fears related to the year 2000 date conversion crisis.

In addition, low interest rates may jeopardize the financial programs of Synopsys for 1999. The firms believe that their income in 1999 would depend on banks' lending programs and the availability of other capital sources.
