Bank loan contraction deepens as banks cut outstanding credit
Banks in the Federal Reserve system reduced their total outstanding loans by 3.171 billion in the year ending March, a pace more than twice the drop of 1.494 billion seen in 1930-31. They also cut non-government securities by 551.0 million, while non-government holdings had risen by 905 million the year before. The shift reflects liquidity needs amid unsettled commerce and a push toward stability with Reconstruction Finance Corporation support, with improvements expected slowly as cooperation grows.
