The Federal Reserve Banks of Dallas and New York have launched a pilot survey to examine lending trends in the U.S. private credit direct lending market. The survey, which opened on November 9, 2026, will run until November 18, 2026, and is aimed at eligible firms. This initiative comes amid the growing importance of private credit and the need for better visibility into new lending activities.
The survey seeks to gather insights on the availability and provision of credit, the evolution of lending standards, and the broader implications for the U.S. economy. The findings will be published at the aggregate level in the first quarter of 2027. Participation is voluntary, and the results will not be used for supervisory purposes.
Interested firms must complete an enrollment form to participate. For more information, respondents can refer to the Frequently Asked Questions or contact the survey team directly. The survey questionnaire is available online, and those who wish to stay informed can sign up for email alerts.
