1. Unused commitments are the amounts still available for lending under official promises to lend that are expressly conveyed to the bank's
customers orally or in writing, usually in the form of a formally executed
agreement signed by one of the bank's officers.
2. Commitments for term loans are those for loans with an original
maturity of more than one year.
3. Revolving credits are commitment agreements whereby the borrower
may draw and repay loans at will with no repayment penalty and under
which the commitment rebounds by an equal amount after a takedown
has been repaid.
4. Other commitments are expressions of willingness to lend, other
than for term loans and revolving credits, that are made known to the customer and are characterized by detailed formal agreements specifying
the terms and conditions under which a loan is to be made.
5. Confirmed lines of credit represent general expressions of willingness to lend, other than for term loans or revolving credits, that are made
known to the customer but are not characterized by detailed formal agreements specifying the terms and conditions under which a loan is to be
made.




NOTE:

Respondents number 115 commercial banks,
reduced by mergers from 121 s i n c e November

billion in total loans, $0.6 billion in term
loans, $0.5 billion in revolving credit, and
$0.2 billion in confirmed lines. Historical
data has not been revised.
