December 2019 SCOOS posted

The December 2019 Senior Credit Officer Opinion Survey (SCOOS) on Dealer Financing Terms collected qualitative information on changes over the previous three months in credit terms and conditions in securities financing and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets. In addition to the core questions, the survey included a set of special questions about stress in overnight funding markets that occurred in mid-September 2019. The 22 institutions participating in the survey account for almost all dealer financing of dollar-denominated securities to nondealers and are the most active intermediaries in OTC derivatives markets. The survey was conducted during the period between November 5, 2019, and November 21, 2019. The core questions asked about changes between September 2019 and November 2019.
