EDSwU. ^ ^ o ^ O N S i y E R INSTALMENT CREDIT AT COMMERCIAL BANKS
o?
NOVEMBER 1971
Consumer instalment credit outstanding at commercial banks at the end of
November amounted to nearly $45.4 billion, an increase of $449 million from the
amount owed a month earlier. All major types of credit rose during November with more
than one-half of the total increase occurring in automobile paper.
The volume of instalment credit extended by banks rose moderately from
October to November and was substantially greater than a year earlier when extensions
of auto credit were reduced by work stoppages in the industry.
