1. Unused c o m m i t m e n t s are the a m o u n t s still available for lending
under official p r o m i s e s to lend that are e x p r e s s l y conveyed to the bank's
c u s t o m e r s orally or in writing, usually in the form of a formally e x e c u t e d
agreement s i g n e d by o n e of the bank's officers.
2. Commitments for term l o a n s are t h o s e for loans with an original
maturity of more than o n e year.
3. Revolving credits are c o m m i t m e n t a g r e e m e n t s whereby the borrower may draw and repay l o a n s at will with no repayment penalty and
under which the c o m m i t m e n t rebounds by an equal amount after a
takedown h a s b e e n repaid.
4. Other c o m m i t m e n t s are e x p r e s s i o n s of willingness to lend, other
than for term l o a n s and revolving credits, that are m a d e known to the
customer and are characterized by detailed formal a g r e e m e n t s specifying the terms and conditions under which a loan is to be made.
5. Confirmed lines of credit represent general e x p r e s s i o n s of willi n g n e s s to lend, other than for term l o a n s or revolving credits, that are
made known to the c u s t o m e r but are not characterized by detailed formal a g r e e m e n t s s p e c i f y i n g the terms and c o n d i t i o n s under which a loan
is to be made.




NOTE: Included in this s e r i e s are 122 weekly reporting banks accounting for approximately 85 percent of all commercial and industrial loans,
and 95 percent of all nonbank financial loans. As of February 1981,
several banks accounting for l e s s than Vz percent of unused commitments were dropped from the reporting panel. Individual items may
not add to totals due to rounding.
Beginning in December, 1981, s h i f t s of foreign loans from U.S. banking o f f i c e s to international banking facilities have reduced the levels of
outstanding loans. No information is available on how t h e s e shifts affect
unused loan c o m m i t m e n t s .

1. Loans m a d e under c o m m i t m e n t s are outstanding l o a n s to commercial and industrial firms and nonbank financial institutions, l e s s
repayments of principal, m a d e under c o m m i t m e n t s currently or previously in force.
2. Term loans are loans with an original maturity of more than 1 year.
3. Loans made,under revolving credits are loans under a g r e e m e n t s
whereby the borrower may draw down and repay loans at will with no
repayment penalty and under which the commitment rebounds by an
equal amount after a takedown h a s been repaid.
4. Loans m a d e under other c o m m i t m e n t s are loans made under exp r e s s i o n s of willingness to lend, other than for term loans and revolving
credits, that are m a d e known to the c u s t o m e r and are characterized by
detailed formal a g r e e m e n t s specifying the terms and conditions under
which a loan is to be made.
5. Loans m a d e under confirmed lines of credit are loans m a d e under
general e x p r e s s i o n s of willingness to lend, other than for term loans or
revolving credits, that are m a d e known to the c u s t o m e r but are not
characterized by detailed formal a g r e e m e n t s specifying the terms and
conditions under which a loan is to be made.




NOTE: Included in this s e r i e s are 122 weekly reporting banks accounting for approximately 85 percent of all commercial and industrial loans,
and 95 percent of all nonbank financial loans. As of February 1981,
several banks accou n t in g in total for about Vz percent of loans made
under c o m m i t m e n t s were dropped from the reporting panel. Individual
items may not add to totals due to rounding.
Beginning in December, 1981 s h i f t s of foreign loans from U.S. banking
o f f i c e s to international banking facilities have reduced the levels of
outstanding loans. At banks included in this survey, $1.5 billion of commercial and industrial loans were shifted, all but a negligible amount during December. It is believed that the bulk of t h e s e loans were made under
commitments.
