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 Saudi riyal.
- A sudden drop in lending can signal tighter bank standards or weak demand.
- Compare with interest rates: credit should slow after hikes; if it does not, more tightening may follow.
Mayor de lo esperado: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the Saudi riyal and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Menor de lo esperado: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the Saudi riyal tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Una breve historia
Credit cycles were described by economists such as Hyman Minsky; after the 2008 financial crisis regulators began to track credit growth closely as an early warning of booms and busts.
The riyal is pegged to the US dollar, so Saudi rates follow the Fed.
