1. Unused commitments are t h e a m o u n t s still available for lending under
official promises t o lend that are expressly conveyed t o the bank's customers
orally or in writing, usually in t h e f o r m 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 c o m m i t m e n t agreements whereby the borrower
may draw and repay loans 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 has
been repaid.
4. Other commitments are expressions of willingness to lend, other than
for term loans and revolving credits, t h a t are made known t o the customer




and are characterized by detailed formal agreements specifying the terms and
conditions under which a loan is t o be made.
5. Confirmed lines of credit represent general expressions of willingness
t o lend, other than for term loans or revolving credits, that are made known
t o 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 122 weekly reporting banks accounting
for approximately 8 5 percent of all commercial and industrial loans, and 9 5
percent of all nonbank financial loans. As of February 1981, several banks
accounting for less than % percent of unused commitments were dropped
from the reporting panel. Individual items may not add to totals due to
rounding.
