Note: The data shown on this release are compiled from a bimonthly survey conducted by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System. For mobile homes and "other consumer goods," the data cover contracts purchased
by finance companies, primarily from retail outlets; for personal loans, they cover secured and unsecured loans
made directly by finance companies for household, family or other personal expenditures. Rates are reported on
an Annual Percentage Rate basis as specified in the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation Z (Truth-in-Lending).
Data on the amount financed exclude finance charges.
