About this ranking

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.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 24 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2022 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
