CONSUMER INSTALMENT CREDIT AT COMMERCIAL BANKS
MAY 1958
Consumer instalment credit held by commercial banks continued to increase in May, and at the month-end amounted to,$12,442
million, $21 million above a month ago." All types of credit shared in the monthly increase except purchased automobile paper and other
consumer goods paper. The decline in the latter reflected, in part,
large repurchases of paper by retail outlets. Total balances were
also above a year earlier.
.
Extensions of credit during May were down $58 million from
the volume of a month earlier, and continued below a year earlier.
