Por qué importa
Credit is the fuel of spending and investment. Strong lending growth means households and companies are confident and that monetary policy is passing through; a credit slowdown often precedes a slowdown in activity. In China, new loans and total social financing are among the most watched signs of stimulus.
Cómo se calcula
Banks report the outstanding stock of loans to the central bank; the release shows the change over the month or the growth from a year earlier.
Qué significan los cambios
- Rising credit growth supports the growth outlook and the the local currency.
- A sudden drop in lending can signal tighter bank standards or weak demand.
