In November, the banking system’s total assets increased by EUR 329 million, reaching an annual growth of EUR 3.1 billion, or 5.8%. Lending to the non‑banking sector rose by EUR 188 million, mostly driven by household lending. Portfolio quality deteriorated slightly due to an increase in non-performing exposures (NPE) among non-financial corporations. The increase in NPEs is concentrated in a small number of firms, mainly within the manufacturing sector. Profit before tax remained above average at EUR 992 million, although it has been gradually declining in line with the reduction in net interest income.
