Experian/Moody's Analytics Small Business Credit Index - Q2 2013

Document: Published Aug 28, 2013
Small-business credit conditions strengthened in Q2, lifting the Experian/Moody's Analytics Small Business Credit Index to the highest level since it began tracking in 2010. Though small-business recovery has been inconsistent regionally, findings from the report indicate that firms have steadily reduced their delinquent debt over the past year. Balance volumes for all business sizes receded measurably from last year, bringing down delinquency rates. Furthermore, credit quality has strengthened for every business size. At an average of 10.2 percent, the total share of delinquent dollars is 2.4 percentage points lower than it was a year ago and is at the lowest point on record. Looking forward, small-business credit quality is expected to continue improving at a modest pace until spending growth accelerates sometime in 2014.
