Economist. Section chief, Banking and Financial Analysis, Monetary Affairs, Federal Reserve Board. Views are my own, not those of the Federal Reserve System.
I am happy about publishing our new Feds note that estimates the levels of bank lending standards. We show they are significantly negatively correlated with loan growth on banks' balance sheets, both in the aggregate and for major loan categories.
