Mike, Are you looking at growth in outstandings or just new lending? I used outstandings, which IMO is cleaner since it incorporates refinancings. Recall that 1998 was a huge year for mortgage/corporate debt refi activity. Most ABS are also fairly short in duration, with much of the new issuance activity in that market typically relating to refinancing maturing and/or amortizing ABS pools.

I agree with your point on derivatives, however, and recognize that conventional debt figures do not adequately incorporate these contingent liabilities. Regards, John
