Abstract: The FR 2835 collects interest rates on loans for new vehicles and loans for other consumer goods and personal expenses from a sample of commercial banks. The FR 2835a collects interest rates, finance charges, and loan balances for credit card accounts, from a sample of commercial banks. The data from these reports help the Federal Reserve analyze current household financial conditions and the implications of these conditions for household spending and thus these data are a valuable input to the monetary policymaking process. The data are also used to create aggregate statistics on consumer loan terms that are published in the Federal Reserve's monthly statistical releases G.19, Consumer Credit, and G.20, Finance Companies. Some of the aggregates are used by the Federal Reserve in the calculation of the aggregate household debt service and financial obligations ratios for the Federal Reserve's quarterly Financial Obligations statistical release and by the Bureau of Economic Analysis to calculate interest paid by households as part of the National Income and Product Accounts.
