Summary of the July 2011 Bank Lending Survey for the Euro Area

Core Content

The July 2011 Bank Lending Survey for the Euro Area, conducted by the Eurosystem between 17 June and 1 July 2011, provides an overview of credit standards and loan demand trends for enterprises and households. The survey also includes insights into the impact of financial market tensions and regulatory changes, particularly Basel III, on bank lending practices.

Main Results

Credit Standards for Loans to Enterprises

Net Tightening Declined: The net percentage of banks tightening credit standards for loans and credit lines to enterprises decreased slightly to 2% from 4% in the previous quarter, indicating broadly unchanged credit standards.
Expectations: Banks expected a slight net tightening of 3%, which was close to the actual result.
Maturities:
- Short-term loans: Credit standards were eased slightly at -3% (from -2%).
- Long-term loans: Credit standards were tightened more strongly at 8% (from 4%).
Factors:
- Risk perception: Expectations regarding economic activity and industry outlook contributed more to tightening (11% and 10% respectively).
- Cost of funds and balance sheet constraints: Continued to be significant factors, with cost of capital at 6% and liquidity positions at 9%.
- Competitive pressures: Had an increasing easing effect at -9% (from -7%).

Loan Demand for Enterprises

Net Demand Growth Slowed: The net increase in demand for loans from enterprises was 4%, down from 19% in the previous quarter.
Maturities:
- Short-term loans: Net demand increased by 9% (from 14%).
- Long-term loans: Net demand increased by 7% (from 18%).
Drivers:
- Reduced financing needs for fixed investment (7% from 12%).
- Limited increase in demand for inventories and working capital (16% from 18%).
- Debt securities issuance curbed loan demand (-3% from -1%).
Expectations: Banks expect a higher net demand increase in the third quarter (8%), but more moderate than previous quarters.

Credit Standards for Housing Loans

Net Tightening Reduced: The net tightening of credit standards for housing loans decreased to 9% from 13% in the previous quarter.
Expectations: Banks expect an unchanged net tightening of 9% in the third quarter.
Factors:
- Improved expectations regarding general economic activity (4% from 9%).
- Cost of funding and balance sheet constraints remained the main contributors to net tightening (13%).

Loan Demand for Housing

Net Demand Decline Slowed: The net decline in demand for housing loans was -3% (from -10%), attributed to less negative housing market prospects.
Expectations: Banks expect a further decline in the third quarter (-12%).

Consumer Credit and Other Household Lending

Credit Standards Unchanged: Banks reported a slight tightening of credit standards for consumer credit at 7%, consistent with expectations.
Demand Declined Sharper: Net demand for consumer credit declined more sharply at -8% (from -4%), mainly due to reduced spending on durable goods.
Expectations: Banks anticipate a moderation in the decline for the third quarter (-4%).

Impact of Financial Turmoil

Wholesale Funding Access Deteriorated: Euro area banks reported a deterioration in access to money markets for both very short and longer maturities.
Debt Securities Market Access: Deterioration in access to debt securities markets was more pronounced than in the previous survey.
Securitisation and Risk Transfer: Conditions for securitisation worsened for enterprise loans, while remaining unchanged for household loans. The ability to transfer risks off balance sheets also deteriorated.

Impact of Basel III and Regulatory Changes

Risk-Weighted Assets Declined: 20% of banks reported a decline in risk-weighted assets over the past six months, with an expected further decline in the next six months and by 2012.
Capital Position:
- 40% of banks noted an increase in their capital position in the past six months.
- 32% expect an increase in the next six months, and 37% for 2012.
- Capital increases were primarily through retained earnings.
Credit Standards Adjustments:
- Credit standards for loans to large enterprises were tightened due to Basel III compliance (22% in net terms).
- Slight tightening for SMEs and housing/consumer loans.
- Expectations: Tightening will continue to be strongest for large enterprises (18% in next six months, 35% in 2012).
