Note: The data are drawn from a survey generally conducted four times per year; the last observation is from the January 2007 survey, which covers 2006:Q4. Net percentage is the percentage of banks reporting a tightening of standards less the percentage reporting an easing. The definition for firm size suggested for, and generally used by, survey respondents is that large and medium-sized firms have sales of $50 million or more.
