Figures are millions of euros (Mil. EUR), end of period (EOP), not seasonally adjusted (NSA). The series start at March 1998.
The series reside in the historical catalog (Greece » Banking » Loans outstanding) and include, for example:
- MBLALNCNUM.IGRC = Credit aggregates: Private sector [corporations and households], (Mil. EUR EOP, NSA)
- MBLALNCPUM.IGRC = Corporations
- MBLALNHNCCUM.IGRC = Individuals and private non-profit institutions - Consumer lending - Credit cards
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
About the dataset
Per European Central Bank (ECB) guidelines, the Bank of Greece reports "credit aggregates" (i.e., loans outstanding) according made by domestic monetary financial institutions excluding the Bank of Greece to domestic non-MFI borrowers, broken out by institutional sector (government, private, etc.) and then by pertinent loan purpose. Figures do not adjust for write-offs. Where relevant, amounts include securitized loans and corporate bonds, even though such assets do not appear on the aggregated balance sheets of MFIs.
Under ECB usage, monetary financial institutions (MFI) is an aggregate of three ESA 2010 institutional sectors: S121 (monetary authority a.k.a. central bank), S122 (deposit-taking corporations), and S123 (money market funds).
An open account loan does not have a defined maturity and the customer can raise funds to a specified ceiling (this is similar to a line of credit in the U.S). The remaining three loan-types have a defined maturity: consumption, house purpose, other purposes.
