Loans, new year immediately positive: up by 1.9% in January

In January 2022, loans to businesses and households increased by 1.9% compared to a year ago. This evidence emerges from the estimates based on data published by the Bank of Italy, relating to loans to businesses and households (calculated by including securitized loans and net of changes in stocks not connected with transactions, for example, changes due to exchange rate fluctuations, to value adjustments or to reclassifications). In December 2021, corporate loans increased by 1.6%. The data emerged from the ABI monthly report.
