As of June 4, 2010, the SBA has approved $10,217,859,000 in 7(a) loans. This is an increase of $59,936,000 over the last week. The week before that SBA 7(a) loan volume had soared to $732,010,000 for the week as stimulus provisions for the 7(a) program ran out of time and money.
With SBA 7(a) lending now at a virtual standstill, legislation is still pending to extend the stimulus provisions of an increased guarantee and waiver of the guaranty fee.
