Public data

Published only added up across firms. Microdata are confidential. The Federal Reserve page says aggregate data are published in the Country Exposure Lending Survey (E.16) statistical release and shared with the BIS; the Board's statistical releases page did not list an E.16 release on 2026-11-11, so its current location was not verified.
