What will be the delinquency rate on commercial real estate loans (excluding farmland) in the United States in the second quarter of 2024?
Closing Jul 01, 2024 07:01AM UTC

The question will be suspended on 30 June 2024 and the outcome determined using data provided by the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) database, expected in August 2024 (FRED). The delinquency rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 0.86%.
