KfW Credit Market Outlook December 2018

Lending to corporates remains very strong for the time being

KfW Research has calculated that new lending to businesses and self-employed persons in Germany grew by 9.6 % in the third quarter, another unusually strong increase on the same period last year. Short-term loans again played a key role. Looking ahead we see the credit market growing at a slower pace. Interestingly, this is likely to be the result of the stabilisation of the business cycle which we predict for the coming months.
