Results from a Federal Reserve survey, released earlier this month, have shown that U.S. banks have relaxed their lending standards on credit cards and lending for autos and commercial real estate in the second quarter. Despite facing an economy bearing unemployment rate of 8.3 percent, lending from U.S. banks are at the highest levels since the end of the recession.
While foreign bank branches have tightened their lending standards, "Domestic banks reported that their business had increased due to decreased competition from European banks and that they remain willing to accommodate additional such business," the Fed said.
