How Are Loans At The Largest U.S. Banks Trending?
Total loans for the largest U.S. banks have largely been increasing over recent quarters. The notable exception is Citigroup, whose loan portfolio has shrunk over this period due to the sale of retail banking units in non-profitable regions and also due to the negative impact of foreign exchange movements.
Loans for U.S. commercial banks have seen considerable growth since 2010 as the U.S. economy recovered from the 2008 recession, Growth rates were aided by the Fed’s decision to maintain interest rates as record low levels over 2009-15. While loans for U.S. banks should continue to grow steadily over coming years, the growth rate is expected to be lower than what was seen in the recent past as the Fed gradually hikes interest rates to levels seen before the recession.
