Bank Lending Survey 2012 Q2

Bank lending survey results show that the lending standards applied to businesses tightened slightly in the second quarter of 2012, while those applied to households remained unchanged. The latter remained unchanged both for mortgage and consumer loans. Business lending standards were mainly tightened on loans to small and medium-sized enterprises and, by purpose of use, mainly on loans for investment. Banks kept the standards on lending to large enterprises and for working capital almost unchanged.
