G19: Upcoming changes to the Consumer Credit (G.19) release
The Federal Reserve Board announced on April 7, 2025 the following changes to the Consumer Credit (G.19) statistical release: Beginning with the May 2025 release, scheduled to be published on July 8, 2025, consumer credit estimates for the nonfinancial business sector will no longer be reported. This change reflects greatly diminished balances in the sector due to changes in the loan origination and ownership structure of retail consumer loans and the discontinuation of available source data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Data for the nonfinancial business sector through 2019, the last year of available benchmark source data, will continue to be available on the Data Download Program (DDP). Total balances of consumer credit will include the estimates of nonfinancial business holdings through 2019. To ensure break-adjusted flows and growth rates are not affected, a break will be added at the end of 2019.
