Survey Shows Loan Charge-Offs Drop Loans Section.)
bank loan
charge-offs declined for the
second consecutive year, according
to a study released by Robert Morris
Associates. RMA is the national
association of bank loan and credit
officers.
The statistics for the year ending
December 31,1979, are contained in
RMA’s ninth annual survey of the
domestic and international loan
charge-off experience of its member
banks.
On the domestic side, the results
showed that the ratio of gross
charge-offs to average loans out­
standing decreased to .46 of 1 % in
1979 from .51 of 1 % in 1978 and .64
of 1% in 1977. The ratio of recov­
eries to gross charge-offs remained
steady at 32% in 1978 and 1979, up
from 20% in 1977. This contributed
to the ratio of net charge-offs to
average loans outstanding’s de­
creasing to .31 of 1% in 1979 from

.35 of 1% in 1978 and .51 of 1% in
1977.
On the international side, the
ratio of gross charge-offs to average
loans and deposits declined to .12 of
1% in 1979 from .13 of 1% in 1978.
After recoveries, the ratio of net
charge-offs to average loans and
deposits outstand ing decreased
from .10 of 1 % in 1978 to .07 of 1 %
in 1979.
The domestic section provides
gross and net charge-off statistics
for seven different types of loans.
They are direct real estate lending,
loans to financial institutions, loans
for purchasing or carrying secur­
ities, loans to finance agricultural
production, commercial and indust­
rial loans, loans to individuals for
household, family and other per­
sonal expenditures, and all other
loans. (These loan categories
parallel the 1979 Federal “call”
Reports of Condition, Schedule A —

In addition, the domestic section
of the RMA report ranks the highloss industries for 1979 by bank
asset size, Federal Reserve District,
and nationwide. The top three highloss industries nationwide by the
number of times cited were: invest­
ors (individual, personal borrow­
ers) ; single family housing construc­
tion, and eating places.
The top three high-loss industries
ranked by dollars charged off were
(1) subdividers and developers; (2)
special trade contractors, and (3)
manufacturing industries.
When asked to predict the highloss industries for the current (1980)
year, respondents ranked them: (1)
single family housing construction;
(2) eating places, and (3) investors
(personal, individual borrowers).
The statistics in the domestic
section are based on data contri­
buted by 861 RMA member hanks
Included are data from 87 of the
country’s largest 100 banks. The
