Fed posts October SLOOS results

The Federal Reserve Board has released the October 2020 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey (SLOOS) on Bank Lending Practices, which addressed changes in the standards and terms on, and demand for, bank loans to businesses and households over the past three months, which generally correspond to the third quarter of 2020.

Loans to businesses: Respondents indicated that, on balance, they tightened their standards and terms on commercial and industrial loans to firms of all sizes. Banks reported weaker demand for C&I loans from firms of all sizes. Meanwhile, banks tightened standards and reported weaker demand across all three major commercial real estate loan categories—construction and land development loans, nonfarm nonresidential loans, and multifamily loans—over the third quarter of 2020.

Loans to households: Banks tightened standards across all categories of residential real estate loans and across all three consumer loan categories—credit card loans, auto loans, and other consumer loans—over the third quarter of 2020 on net. Banks reported stronger demand for credit card loans, auto loans, and most categories of RRE loans.

Banks also responded to a set of special questions inquiring about their forbearance policies. For all loan categories, a majority of banks reported that less than 5 percent of loans were in forbearance in the third quarter. Payment deferral was the most widely cited form of forbearance for CRE, RRE, and consumer loans, while covenant relief was the most cited form of forbearance for C&I loans. For most categories, a borrower’s degree of financial hardship was the factor most widely cited as important in determining banks’ willingness to approve forbearance requests or the terms of forbearance.
