G20: Revisions to finance company Assets and Liabilities estimates released

The Board is publishing revisions to the finance company Assets and Liabilities estimates shown on the G.20 page. Revisions to the quarterly finance company Assets and Liabilities estimates begin in 2006 Q1 and are due to idiosyncratic methodology changes and the incorporation of 2010 finance companies survey data. Methodology changes include improved adjustments for panel attrition, panel growth, and loan sales and purchases by panel members. For more details on the survey and the revisions, see the documentation posted to the G.19 Consumer Credit revisions page on September 10, 2012, at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g19/revisions/.
