Report on the condition of the U.S. banking industry: fourth quarter, 2004.


Total assets of reporting bank holding companies rose $393.2 billion (or 4.0 percent) in the fourth quarter of 2004, to $10.3 trillion--the first time that this total has exceeded $10 trillion One thousand times one billion, which is 1, followed by 12 zeros, or 10 to the 12th power.

. The two largest asset categories--loans, and securities and money market assets--each increased roughly $170 billion, accounting for most of total asset growth.

For loans, this increase represented growth of 3.5 percent, with $152.3 billion of the increase occurring at the fifty large bank holding companies. Growth was most pronounced in the commercial real estate, home equity, and credit card categories. A sign of the invigorated in·vig·or·ate

 lending market, reporting bank holding companies increased their unused commitments to lend $253.4 billion (5.5 percent) for the quarter and $725.8 billion (17.7 percent) for the full year. Over both intervals, nearly all the growth took place at the fifty large institutions.

The increase of 4.7 percent in securities and money market assets was largely attributable attributable

These effects aside, the fifty large bank holding companies added $30.6 billion (1.0 percent) to their holdings of securities and money market assets, while all other bank holding companies added $7.4 billion (1.6 percent).

Deposits increased significantly but less rapidly than assets, growing $186.2 billion (3.7 percent). Core deposits rose over the quarter, but large-denomination time deposits increased more sharply. Borrowings increased $76.8 billion (2.5 percent) overall, also influenced by developments at a few firms. The addition of the large securities-oriented bank holding company (and exit of a smaller one) added $58.3 billion, and increased borrowing at a large insurance-oriented bank holding company (MetLife) added $35.4 billion.

For the full year, net income of reporting bank holding companies reached $113.5 billion, an increase of 5.1 percent over 2003 despite an 11-basis-point narrowing of net interest margins.
