A paper published by the Harvard Journal of Financial Economics notes that during the peak of the Global Financial Crisis (Q4 of 2008), new loans to large borrowers fell by 47% compared to the previous quarter and by 79% relative to the peak of the second quarter of 2007, identified as the peak of the credit boom.
