May and September 1982 data reflect breaks in
series owing to bank reclassifications of unused
loan commitments.
In May, these corrections
lowered unused commitments to nonbank financial
institutions by $0.3 billion and to commercial
and industrial firms by $1.0 billion. The
correction of commitments to commercial and
industrial firms included a $0.6 billion drop
in term loan commitments, an increase of $1.7
billion in revolving credit commitments and
declines of $0.1 billion and $2.0 billion in
"other" and confirmed-line commitments, respectively.
In September, these corrections lowered
unused commitments to nonbank financial institutions by $0.8 billion and to commercial and
industrial firms by $3.2 billion. The corrections to commitments to commercial and industrial firms included reductions of $0.4 billion,
$1.2 billion, $1.1 billion and $0.5 billion in
term loan, revolving credit, confirmed line
and other commitments, respectively.
