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. *A merger between a reporting bank and a nonreporting bank caused a break in series in January 1984. Unused C&l commitments were increased by $0.5 billion. The increase in unused C&l commitments was concentrated in confirmed lines, which increased $0.4 billion. Revisions to back data are not available. **Due to mergers, the number of large commercial banks in our survey has dropped from 121 to 119, as of November 1984. Historical data has been revised. Individual items may not add to totals due to rounding.
