The expansion of lending to the non-bank sector continued in March. The increase in loans to non-financial corporations was much higher than the average of the previous twelve months, meanwhile the year-on-year growth of these loans remained high and amongst the highest in the euro area. Year-on-year growth in housing loans continued to strengthen in March, driven by a strong increase in new housing loans. The volume of new consumer loans has also increased, and it was the first increase in the volume of new consumer loans after October 2019.
