LEADING ECONOMIC INDICATOR: One of eleven economic statistics that tend to move up or down a few months before the expansions and contractions of the business cycle. These leading indicators are -- manufacturers new orders, an index of vendor performance, orders for plant and equipment, Standard & Poor's 500 index of stock prices, new building permits, durable goods manufacturers unfilled orders, the money supply, change in materials prices, average workweek in manufacturing, changes in business and consumer credit, a consumer confidence index, and initial claims for unemployment insurance. Leading indicators indicate what the aggregate economy is likely to do, business-cycle-wise, 3 to 12 months down the road. When leading indicators rise today, then the rest of the economy is likely to rise in the coming year. And when leading indicators decline, then the economy is likely to decline in 3 to 12 months.

The first financial intermediaries to function as depository institutions, maintain deposits, make loans, and directly control the checkable deposits portion of the economy's money supply. Traditional banks were THE original banks, the financial depository institutions first to offer checkable deposits. Traditional banks invariably have the word "bank" in their names and are charted by either the Comptroller of the Currency or one of the fifty state corporation commissions. Three other types of banks, as a group commonly termed thrift institutions, are credit unions, savings and loan associations, and mutual savings banks.
