Banks and mortgage companies are households’ most important credit sources. Households borrowed NOK 121 billion from these sources in the last four-quarter period, compared to NOK 118 billion in the previous period. Borrowing from the central government went down from NOK 21 billion to NOK 17 billion in last four-quarter period.

Steady development in households’ net lending

Households’ net lending is estimated at NOK -20 billion over the last four quarters, compared to NOK -21 billion in the previous four-quarter period. The increase in net financial assets is estimated at NOK 90 billion in the last period and net holding gains at NOK 110 billion. The revaluation of unlisted shares made a major contribution to total holding gains, but is estimated and uncertain.
