Loan to non-financial corporations - France - July 2020
- NFCs continue to rely strongly on treasury credit, still fueled by the State-guaranteed loan scheme (PGE), but the increase in outstanding amounts in July is lower than that observed in previous months (EUR 8.6 billion, down from EUR 10.5 billion in June and a monthly average of EUR 23.5 billion in March, April and May).
- The annual growth rate of treasury loans to non-financial corporations remains strong: 32.0% in July, up from 30.5% in June. The investment credit continues to slow down progressively (5.6%, down from 5.9% in June and 6.2% in May), both for its real estate component and for its equipment component.
- Overall, the annual growth rate of credit to non-financial corporations stands at 12.6%, up from 12.2% in June.

Additional information
Non-financial corporations include all companies whose main activity is the production of goods and non-financial services, excluding sole proprietor and unincorporated partnerships.
Calculations are made with the aim to give the best possible image of the evolution of the lending activity:
- Loans that have been securitized or sold by credit institutions are considered as remaining in their books
- Accounting changes that are not reflecting economic transactions, in particular write-offs/write-downs, are eliminated
- The impact of statistical modifications in the scope of the MFI sector (e.g. the reclassification of an entity from the non-financial corporations sector to the government sector) is also eliminated
- As FX hedges are unknown, loans in foreign currencies are however taken into account at their face value in Euros at the end of the month
