G19: G.19 Consumer Credit Update

Starting with the current month, the G.19 statistical release incorporates student loan debt held by an additional category of holders--Nonprofit and Educational Institutions. In addition, consumer credit held by the federal government has been revised back to January 2006 as a result of changes in source data. Total consumer credit outstanding, flows, and growth rates have been revised accordingly. Moreover, two memo items are added to the release, providing quarterly outstanding and flows data for student and motor vehicle loans. Details about the revisions are included in technical documentation that can be found here: http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g19/revisions/.
