Central Bank lending survey
The Central Bank conducts quarterly lending surveys among the four commercial banks. In the surveys, the banks are asked for their assessment of developments in credit supply and demand; the factors that, in their opinion, had a decisive impact on supply in the past three months; and their expectations for the coming six months. The results of the most recent survey, conducted during the period 1 July-14 August 2023, are based on the average of the commercial banks’ responses.
