FINANCEi COMPANIES - JUNE 1973

Finance company holdings of consumer credit increas ed $508 million during
e
June, bringing the total holdings-to over $34 billion. All tt i major credit categories
contributed to this greater than seasonal growth. Over the ^cond quarter of the year
outstanding finance company consumer credit increased $1.6 „bil lion, with retail
passenger cars and personal loans showing the largest dollar, i ncreases.
Consumer credit extensions decreased $210 million ot -er the past month. All
the major categories except home repair and modernization contributed to the decline.
Business credit outstanding rose $124 million, bring ing the total holdings
to over $28 billion. A sizable decline in all other business credit, and a smaller
decline in retail commercial vehicles was more than offset by increases in all the
other loan categories. However, the total increase was much imailer than that recorded
a year ago.
