Norwegian banks finance their operations in the money market through different sources, such as inter-bank loans, bond loans, short-term security loans and F-loans from the Norwegian Central Bank. At the end of October, about 77 per cent of the funding stemmed from foreign sources. The Norwegian banks’ foreign money market funding amounted to NOK 1 083 billion at the end of October. This is a decrease of NOK 73 billion compared to the previous month. The remaining NOK 318 billion stemmed from domestic sources. Both foreign and domestic sources of funding were reduced from end-September to end-October.

Largest share of inter-bank loans

The major part, about 56.5 per cent, of the banks’ money market funding stems from inter-bank loans. At the end of October, total inter-bank loans amounted to NOK 792 billion. This is a decrease of NOK 72 billion from the previous month.

At the end of October, inter-bank loans from foreign banks amounted to NOK 752 billion; a decrease from NOK 809 billion at end-September. Foreign inter-bank loans constituted 54 per cent of the banks’ total money market funding. The share of foreign inter-bank loans as a part of the total money market funding has been above 50 per cent since May 2011. This share fluctuates from month to month, and is also affected by changes in foreign exchange rates.

Increased share of bond loans

At end-October, bond loans amounted to NOK 445 billion, which is a marginal decrease from NOK 447 billion the previous month. The Norwegian banks’ bond loans constituted 31.8 per cent of the total money market funding. The share of bond loans as a part of the total money market funding has been increasing since December 2011. At the end of October, domestic and foreign bond loans amounted to NOK 264 billion and NOK 181 billion respectively.

Decrease in foreign short-term security loans

At the end of October, short-term security loans constituted less than 12 per cent of the total money market funding. This equals NOK 164 billion and is a decrease of NOK 14 billion from the end of September. The major part of the short-term security loans stems from foreign lenders. The banks’ foreign short-term security debt amounted to NOK 150 billion at the end of October; a decrease from NOK 165 billion the previous month.

Increased customer deposits

In addition to money market funding, Norwegian banks finance their lending through customer deposits. Banks’ customer deposits amounted to NOK 1 806 billion at end-October. This is an increase of NOK 21 billion compared to the previous month.

Money market funding is defined by the sum of inter-bank loans, short-term security loans, bond loans and F-loans from the central bank.

F-loans from Norges Bank are a part of the liquidity supply to the banks. F-loans have collateral in securities and are given at a fixed interest rate and a fixed maturity.

Inter-bank loans are short-term loans between banks. It should be noted that a certain share of foreign inter-bank loans to Norwegian banks could originate from loans from a foreign parent company.

As a large part of the foreign money market funding is in foreign currency, changes in exchange rates may influence the figures.
