Large Loan Losses Rise

According to the Shared National Credit Program (SNC) 2009 Review, an annual inter-agency report released on Thursday, credit quality deteriorated to record levels with respect to large loans and loan commitments.

The Shared National Credit Program which was set up in 1977 to review large syndicated loans now reviews and classifies all institutional loans of at least $20 million that are shared by three or more supervised institutions.

According to the report, criticized assets rated ‘special mention’, ‘substandard’, ‘doubtful’ and ‘loss’, touched $642 billion, representing 22.3 percent of the SNC portfolio, compared with 13.4 percent a year ago.
