In this edition of Economy in Focus, we take a longer-term view, tracking credit developments from the pandemic through to the present. While we see some signs of improvement, this isn’t fully reflected in the credit data yet. I expect household lending to rise gradually moving forward, but at a slower pace than after the pandemic, while consumer lending growth will begin to decelerate. This aligns with broader trends we’ve observed, such as increased consumer credit to manage rising living costs.Anna Zabrodzka-Averianov, Senior Economist at Intrum
