Bank Credit

Bank credit is a category on the asset side of a bank's balance sheet. It is the sum of (i) Treasury, Agency, and other securities, and (ii) loans and leases. In December 2008, bank credit comprised 81 percent of total assets of commercial banks in the United States. Additional information can be found in the Federal Reserve's H.8 release.
