Allowance for Credit Losses
The Firm’s allowance for credit losses represents management's estimate of expected credit losses over the remaining expected life of the Firm's financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet lending-related commitments. The Firm's allowance for credit losses generally consists of:
the allowance for loan losses, which covers the Firm’s retained loan portfolios (scored and risk-rated) and is presented separately on the Consolidated balance sheets,
the allowance for lending-related commitments, which is reflected in accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets, and
the allowance for credit losses on investment securities, which is reflected in investment securities on the Consolidated balance sheets.
Discussion of changes in the allowance
The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2025 was $28.3 billion, reflecting a net addition of $1.4 billion from December 31, 2024.
The net addition to the allowance for credit losses included:
$1.0 billion inwholesale, predominantly driven by changes in credit quality of client-specific exposures, the impact of new lending-related commitments, as well as the impact of changes in the Firm's weighted-average macroeconomic outlook, and
As of December 31, 2024, the Firm's qualitative adjustments and its weighted-average macroeconomic outlook included additional weight placed on the adverse scenarios to reflect ongoing uncertainties and downside risks related to the geopolitical and macroeconomic environment. In the first quarter of 2025, the Firm further increased the weight placed on the adverse scenarios, and in the second quarter, the Firm partially reduced the increase in weight implemented in the first quarter.
The Firm's allowance for credit losses is estimated using a weighted average of five internally developed macroeconomic scenarios. The adverse scenarios incorporate more punitive macroeconomic factors than the central case assumptions provided in the following table, resulting in:
a weighted average U.S. unemployment rate peaking at 5.9% in the second quarter of 2026, and
a weighted average U.S. real GDP level that is 2.0% lower than the central case at the end of the fourth quarter of 2026.
The following table presents the Firm’s central case assumptions for the periods presented:
| Central case assumptions at June 30, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 4Q25 | 2Q26 | 4Q26 | |
| U.S. unemployment rate(a) | 4.6% | 4.8% | 4.5% |
| YoY growth in U.S. real GDP(b) | 0.6% | 1.0% | 2.1% |
| Central case assumptions at December 31, 2024 | |||
| 2Q25 | 4Q25 | 2Q26 | |
| U.S. unemployment rate(a) | 4.5% | 4.3% | 4.3% |
| YoY growth in U.S. real GDP(b) | 2.0% | 1.9% | 1.8% |
(a)Reflects quarterly average of forecasted U.S. unemployment rate.
(b)The year over year growth in U.S. real GDP in the forecast horizon of the central scenario is calculated as the percentage change in U.S. real GDP levels from the prior year.
Subsequent changes to this forecast and related estimates will be reflected in the provision for credit losses in future periods.
