Abstract: This survey collects qualitative and limited quantitative information from senior credit officers at responding financial institutions on (1) stringency of credit terms, (2) credit availability and demand across the entire range of securities financing and over-the-counter derivatives transactions, and (3) the evolution of market conditions and conventions applicable to such activities. The FR 2034 survey will be conducted quarterly, along with the Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices (FR 2018; OMB No. 7100-0058). The survey contains 79 core questions divided into three broad sections, as well as additional questions on topics of timely interest. Given the Board’s interest in financial stability, the information this survey collects is critical to the monitoring of credit markets and capital market activity. Information from the survey is also considered by the FOMC as it sets monetary policy. Aggregate survey results are made available to the public on the Board’s website. In addition, selected aggregate survey results may be discussed in Governor’s speeches and may be published in Federal Reserve Bulletin articles and in the annual Monetary Policy Report to the Congress.
