Troubles grow in Spanish banking rescue - By Carl Moore

There was little to cheer about in the second quarter numbers from bank holding companies when it comes to commercial real estate lending. While banks generally reported overall improved asset quality, they noted that declines in the value of commercial real estate assets continued to eat away at those improvements. The upshot of the numbers is that it looks like banks will continue to restrict their commercial real estate lending for the near term.

Even the upsides from the quarter were an indication of just how gloomy CRE markets are. For starters, according to the Federal Reserve's July 2010 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices, most respondents reported no change in their bank's standards for approving commercial real estate loans. In other words: standards can't be tightened much more than they are now. In the same survey, banks also reported that demand for CRE loans had continued to be light but had not decreased. Here too, read another way: demand is pretty much at an all-time low.
