Note. Yearly annual rates are Q4 to Q4; quarterly and monthly annual rates use corresponding average levels. Data
have been adjusted to remove the effects of mark-to-market accounting rules (FIN 39 and FAS 115), the initial consolidation of
certain variable interest entities (FIN 46), the initial adoption of fair value accounting (FAS 159), and the effects of sizable
thrift-to-bank and bank-to-thrift structure activity in October 2006, March 2007, and October 2007. Data also account for
breaks caused by reclassifications.
1. Billions of dollars. Pro rata averages of weekly (Wednesday) levels.
2. Excludes interbank loans.
3. Includes an estimate of outstanding loans securitized by commercial banks.
4. Includes security loans and loans to farmers, state and local governments, and all others not elsewhere classified.
Also includes lease financing receivables.
5. Includes private mortgage-backed securities; securities of corporations, state and local governments, and foreign
governments; and any trading account assets that are not Treasury or agency securities.
