The increase was driven by a 3.2% rise in corporate lending, observed in both the state-owned enterprise sector (up by 4.7%) and the private sector (up by 1.6%).
The household loan portfolio grew by 0.8% in June, compared to 1.1% in May. «The slowdown is primarily seen in consumer lending, which increased by 0.6% (down from 1.2% in May). Mortgage growth also decelerated (0.9% vs. 1.1%). The shift in lending trends may be linked to the National Bank’s measures to stimulate investment lending,» the EADB noted.
