Abstract: The FR 2644 is a balance sheet report that is collected as of each Wednesday from an authorized stratified sample of 850 domestically chartered commercial banks and U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. The FR 2644 is the only source of high-frequency data used in the analysis of current banking developments. The FR 2644 collects sample data that are used to estimate universe levels for the entire commercial banking sector in conjunction with data from the quarterly commercial bank Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051; OMB No. 7100-0036) and Report of Assets and Liabilities of U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks (FFIEC 002; OMB No. 7100-0032) (Call Reports). Data from the FR 2644 and the Call Reports are utilized in construction of weekly estimates of U.S. bank credit, balance sheet data for the U.S. commercial banking sector, and sources and uses of banks’ funds, and to analyze current banking developments, including the monitoring of broad credit and funding conditions. The Board publishes the data in aggregate form in the weekly H.8 statistical release, Assets and Liabilities of Commercial Banks in the United States, which is followed closely by other government agencies, the banking industry, financial press, and other users. The H.8 release provides a balance sheet for the commercial banking industry as a whole as well as disaggregated data for three bank groups: large domestically chartered banks, small domestically chartered banks, and U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. The data are also used in constructing the commercial bank component of the Federal Reserve’s G.19 release, Consumer Credit, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Reserve Demand Elasticity (RDE).
