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.
