  • Incorrect secondary credit rate applied
    Between 2016 Q4 and 2017 Q2, five secondary credit loans of $1,000 were made at interest rates that were 0.25 percentage points below the rate approved for the program. One loan was made in 2016 Q4, three loans were made in 2017 Q1, and one loan was made in 2017 Q2 (Q2 data will be released in June 2019). The loans can be identified in the data by comparing the interest rate charged on the loan with the prevailing rate for the secondary credit program.
