About this ranking

End-of-month stock of loans with original maturity up to 1 year 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.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
