Footnotes
1. Covers most short- and intermediate-term credit extended to individuals, excluding loans secured by real estate.
2. The series for consumer credit outstanding and its components may contain breaks that result from discontinuities in source data. Percent changes are adjusted to exclude
the effect of such breaks. In addition, percent changes are at a simple annual rate and are calculated from unrounded data.
3. Includes automobile loans and all other loans not included in revolving credit, such as loans for mobile homes, education, boats, trailers, or vacations. These loans may be
secured or unsecured.
4. Flow data represent changes in the level of credit due to economic and financial activity, and exclude breaks in the data series due to changes in methodology, source data,
and other technical aspects of the estimation that could affect the level of credit.
5. Interest rates are annual percentage rates (APR) as specified by the Federal Reserve’s Regulation Z. Interest rates for new-car loans and personal loans at commercial
banks are simple unweighted averages of each bank’s most common rate charged during the first calendar week of the middle month of each quarter. For credit card
accounts, the rate for all accounts is the stated APR averaged across all credit card accounts at all reporting banks. The rate for accounts assessed interest is the annualized ratio
of total finance charges at all reporting banks to the total average daily balances against which the finance charges were assessed (excludes accounts for which no finance
charges were assessed).
6. The statistical foundation for these series has deteriorated. Therefore, publication of these series is temporarily being suspended. The statistical foundation is in the process of
being improved, and publication will resume as soon as possible.
7. Consumer loans held by the federal government include loans originated by the Department of Education under the Federal Direct Loan Program, as well as Federal Family
Education Program loans that the government purchased from depository institutions and finance companies.
8. Outstanding balances of pools upon which securities have been issued; these balances are no longer carried on the balance sheets of the loan originators.
9. The shift of consumer credit from pools of securitized assets to other categories is largely due to financial institutions’ implementation of the FAS 166/167 accounting rules.
