This is our 23rd consecutive post predicting the Federal Reserve’s quarterly consumer loan charge off rate.
The Federal Reserve Bank will soon report the Consumer Loan Charge-off Rate (CLCOR) for the first quarter of 2022. According to the data published on Feb 18th 2022, the total seasonally adjusted CLCOR figure for the 2021Q4 was 0.91% reversing the downward trend of its previous quarters. However, when we look at the charge-off rates by category, the Charge-off Rate on Credit Card Loans continued its downward trend and reported its lowest level ever in 2022Q4 at 1.57% (the most recent published number).
