Rankings

Definition

End-of-month stock of loans with original maturity over 1 and up to 5 years from resident MFIs excluding central banks to non-financial corporations resident in the euro area, in EUR millions.

Maturity bands describe original contractual maturity, not remaining maturity or the period for which the interest rate is fixed. End-of-month balances, neither seasonally nor working-day adjusted. The country identifies the reporting monetary financial institutions (MFIs), excluding central banks; borrowers or depositors reside anywhere in the euro area. These are not balances of domestic residents only. Households include non-profit institutions serving households. All currencies are combined and reported in EUR millions. The euro area has changing membership; histories vary and missing values are not filled.
