  • Serves as an early signal of changes in GDP.
  • Provides lenders a snapshot of the future so they can adjust their approval criteria as needed.
  • The SBLI is segmented into 988 indices at the national, state, and industry levels and formulated on a rolling 12-month basis due to the volatility of smaller sample sizes.
