The October 2023 Euro Area Bank Lending Survey indicates ongoing challenges in the lending environment in the Eurozone.
- Credit standards tightened for businesses, impacting loan approval criteria for housing, and consumers.
- At the same time, loan demand decreased significantly due to higher interest rates and economic uncertainties
- Access to funding deteriorated, particularly in the retail funding segment, due to heightened competition for liquidity
- ECB's balance sheet reduction contributed to tighter lending conditions
