Definition

Financial corporations' claims on the private sector, including loans, non-equity securities and trade credit, as a percentage of GDP. Some countries include credit to public enterprises.

Can include central banks, deposit banks and other financial corporations, so it is not a bank-loans-only measure. A published zero is valid. The latest year varies by country.
