agreements specifying the terms and conditions under which a loan is to be made.
^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.—Included in this series are 136 weekly reporting banks; these banks account for
approximately 85 per cent of commercial and industrial loans, 95 per cent of nonbank financial
loans, and 75 per cent of real estate loans of all weekly reporting banks. Individual items may not

NOTE: The number of banks in the series has changed from
138 to 136 due to the merger of several banks in the series.
