H8: Notice to Users of the H.8 Release

Data on this H.8 release have been benchmarked through the March 2023 Call Report. Data on the previous release were benchmarked through the December 2022 Call Report. The data also incorporate new seasonal adjustment factors and revisions to underlying data. This release also incorporates the following changes: 1. Seasonal factors have been updated using a revised weekly seasonal adjustment procedure that better adjusts for outliers, including outliers resulting from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of this update on the data extend to earlier periods as well. Additional details are available in a Technical Q&A. 2. As detailed in the H.8 About page, the composition of the large bank panel is determined by the ranking of domestic assets as of each benchmark commercial bank Call Report. Changes in the large bank panel in this release are retroactive to April 5, 2023, the weekly release closest to the March 2023 Call Report. Historical data for the large and small domestically chartered commercial bank groups have been adjusted to remove the estimated effects of panel shifts between the two groups.
