Stock of household deposits growing at a rapid pace

Share
At the end of November 2019, the total stock of household deposits amounted to EUR 95.6 bn and the average interest rate on the deposits was 0.11%. The vast majority of household deposits, EUR 82.6 bn, are held in transaction accounts. The stock of transaction accounts grew by EUR 880 million during November and the average interest rate declined to 0.07%.

Deposits with an agreed maturity and other deposits account for a lesser share of the total stock of household deposits. At the end of November 2019, deposits with an agreed maturity totalled EUR 4.8 bn and other deposits EUR 8.2 bn. The interest rate on the stock of deposits with an agreed maturity has no longer declined in 2019, standing at 0.51% in November. Credit institutions apply a higher interest rate on deposits of over 1 year (0.94% in November 2019) than on deposits with a shorter maturity (0.28% in November 2019). Deposits of over one year include e.g. ASP deposits – savings deposits for first home purchase – on which banks pay an interest of 1%. In November, households concluded EUR 235 million of new agreements on deposits with an agreed maturity, and the average interest rate on these was 0.15%.

Growth in household deposits has picked up noticeably since the beginning of 2019. The acceleration started at the turn of the year, and in November household deposits already grew at an annual rate of 9.4%. The pick-up in the growth rate is particularly due to the high popularity of transaction accounts. The growth rate of funds in transaction accounts accelerated to 10% at the beginning of 2019 and was 11.3% in November. At the same time, the popularity of other deposits has increased slightly, and in November the annual growth rate of these deposits was 5.8%. The rapid contraction recorded in recent years in deposits with an agreed maturity slowed slightly, too. In November 2019, the stock of these deposits contracted at an annual rate of –11.2%. Growth rates of deposits can also be analysed now with the bank dashboard.

Loans

Households’ drawdowns of new housing loans in November 2019 amounted to EUR 1.7 bn, up by EUR 100 million on the corresponding period a year earlier. At the end of November, the stock of euro-denominated housing loans totalled EUR 100.3 bn and the annual growth rate of the stock was 2.7%. Household credit at end-November comprised EUR 16.5 bn in consumer credit and EUR 17.7 bn in other loans.

Drawdowns of new loans by non-financial corporations (excl. overdrafts and credit card credit) amounted to EUR 1.9 bn in November. The average interest rate on these declined from October, to 2.19%. At the end of November, the stock of euro-denominated loans to non-financial corporations totalled EUR 91.2 bn, of which loans to housing corporations accounted for EUR 34.7 bn.

Hushållen har mycket konsumtionskrediter – tillväxttakten har mattats av1.7.2025 10:00:00 EEST | Pressmeddelande

I maj 2025 uppgick det utestående beloppet av konsumtionskrediter som banker med verksamhet i Finland beviljat hushåll till 17,6 miljarder euro och utlåningen minskade med −0,7 % från året innan. Minskningen i det utestående beloppet av konsumtionskrediter är en följd av att utnyttjandet av konto- och kortkrediter och utbetalningarna av konsumtionskrediter utan säkerhet har minskat. Konsumtionskrediter beviljade av banker står för 63 % av hushållens totala utestående konsumtionskrediter. I maj 2025 minskade hushållens utestående kortkrediter[1] (3,6 miljarder euro) med −1,0[2] jämfört med ett år tidigare, då de utestående kortkrediterna vid motsvarande tidpunkt året innan ökade med nästan 6 %. Vid utgången av maj var 19 % av kortkrediterna räntefri betaltidskredit och 81 % äkta kortkrediter, dvs. kortkredit med ränta. I januari–maj 2025 utbetalades från bankerna 9 % mindre sedvanliga konsumtionskrediter utan säkerhet[3] jämfört med motsvarande tidpunkt ett år tidigare. Också det utestå

Kotitalouksilla runsaasti kulutusluottoja –kasvuvauhti hidastunut1.7.2025 10:00:00 EEST | Tiedote

Toukokuussa 2025 Suomessa toimivien pankkien kotitalouksille myöntämien kulutusluottojen kanta oli 17,6 mrd. euroa ja se supistui vuodentakaisesta −0,7 %. Kulutusluottokannan supistumiseen vaikuttavat tili- ja korttiluottojen vähentynyt käyttö ja vähäisemmät vakuudettomien kulutusluottojen nostomäärät. Pankkien myöntämät kulutusluotot kattavat 63 % kotitalouksien kokonaiskulutusluottokannasta. Toukokuussa 2025 kotitalouksien korttiluottokanta[1] (3,6 mrd. euroa) supistui −1,0 %[2] vuodentakaiseen verrattuna, kun vuosi sitten vastaavana aikana korttiluottokanta kasvoi lähes 6 prosentin vauhdilla. Toukokuun lopussa korttiluotoista 19 % oli korotonta maksuaikaluottoa ja 81 % pidennettyjä korttiluottoja eli korollista korttiluottoa. Tavanomaisia vakuudettomia kulutusluottoja[3] nostettiin pankeista tammi-toukokuun 2025 aikana 9 % vähemmän kuin vuosi sitten vastaavana aikana. Myös vakuudettomien kulutusluottojen kanta supistui toukokuussa. Suomessa toimivien pankkien myöntämistä kulutusluot
