CONSUMER INSTALMENT CREDIT AT COMMERCIAL BANKS

'

JUNE 1968

Consumer instalment credit outstanding at commercial banks was up
$530 million in June, the second consecutive month of near record expansion.
Although all major types of credit were substantially larger than at the end of
May, automobile credit, especially purchased paper, contributed the major part of
the. total increase :
Loans made during Jtm&-_showed a decline of $213 million, attributable
largely to differences in number of business days and in seasonal expectations.
Both automobile and other consumer goods loans were in considerably larger volume
than in June 1967, while personal and repair loans showed little change. .
