    • "Regarding loans to businesses over the first quarter, survey respondents reported, on balance, tighter lending standards and basically unchanged demand for commercial and industrial (C&I) loans to firms of all sizes. Furthermore, banks reported basically unchanged lending standards and weaker or basically unchanged demand for commercial real estate (CRE) loans"
