Household Credit
About Household Credit Indicators
Changes in household credit reflect new credit extended to households. Two thirds of credit outstanding to households is for residential mortgages.
Overview of Total Household Credit
The table below provides an overview of changes in household credit over the past 12 months. The total dollar amount outstanding is noted, and broken down into components, as is the percentage distribution. The 12-month changes are given in dollar terms (again, broken down by component), and as a percentage of the total amount outstanding. Annualized 3-month and 1-month changes are also provided to give a sense of recent trends in household credit.
