Federal Reserve’s quarterly Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey (SLOOS)
According to the Federal Reserve’s quarterly Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey (SLOOS), more lenders have tightened their standards in response to the growing unrest in the banking industry.
According to the Fed report, survey respondents attributed the changes in lending standards to economic unpredictability, a decreased appetite for risk, a decline in collateral values, and general worries about banks’ funding costs and liquidity positions. The above issues as well as customer withdrawals were cited by lenders when they stated that they anticipated tightening standards for all loan categories for the remainder of 2023.
