This partially ad hoc 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.
