Experian | Moody's Main Street Report

Q1 report findings

Seasonal patterns in small business borrowings moved against credit performance in the first quarter. Moderate delinquencies at 1.28 percent are still well below their year ago levels of 1.61 percent. Pent-up savings, massive fiscal support, and the winding down of the Covid-19 pandemic will be the driving forces for the economy and small businesses going forward in the post-pandemic recovery.
