CONSUMER INSTALLMENT CREDIT

Consumer installment credit outstanding expanded in November by $4.67 billion, seasonally
adjusted, following an increase of $4.89 billion in October.
These gains represented
annualized
rates of growth of 15 percent
in November and 16 percent in October, compared with an average rate
of increase of 12 percent during the third quarter.
Automobile credit increased by $1.24 billion in November compared with a $1.77 billion
gain in October.
Partially offsetting this slowdown were pick-ups in revolving credit to a
$1.30 billion increase in November (from $1.15 billion in October) and in the large "other" category
to a $2.03 billion gain
(from $1.87 billion).
Increases in both these categories were records.
The previous highs were $1.21 billion for revolving credit in June 1983 and $1.87 billion for
"other" credit in October 1983.
