Survey of Small Business and Farm Lending
Description
The Survey of Small Business and Farm Lending (SSBFL) is currently comprised of the Survey of Terms of Bank Lending to Farmers (FR 2028B), Prime Rate Supplement of the Survey of Terms of Lending (FR 2028S), and the Small Business Lending Survey (FR 2028D). The FR 2028B collects information on farm loans made by commercial banks during a representative week. The collected data include price and nonprice terms. The respondents provide information on the stated rate of interest on the loan and the frequency with which interest is compounded, and other important loan terms, including loan size, commitment status, maturity, collateralization, the purpose of the loan and loan risk ratings. The FR 2028S, a companion report, collects institutions' prime interest rate for the days reported. The FR 2028D collects information on the availability and cost of loans to small businesses from domestically chartered commercial banks during each quarter. The survey provides unique quantitative and qualitative information on small business commercial and industrial (C&I) loans, including amounts, interest rates, terms, bank credit standards, applications and quality of applicants, and loan demand. The Survey of Terms of Business Lending (FR 2028A) has been discontinued. The final data collection for the FR 2028A was for the May 2017 survey week.
