In the third quarter of 2021, the financing of non-financial corporations (NFCs) increases. MFI loans flows start to rise again after remaining almost stable in the previous quarter. Flows of debt securities and of shares and net equities issuances become positive again. At the same time, financial investment by non-financial corporations increases. Deposits grow at a higher pace than in the second quarter and other net financial assets increase. Conversely, investment in securities falls again due to net sales of money market fund shares.

In the third quarter of 2021, households' financial investment flows are at nearly the same level as in the first six months of 2021.

Lastly, investment flows into life insurance and pension plans remain at the second quarter level, close to pre-crisis levels, driven by unit-linked contracts. On the liabilities side, MFI loans flows are still as dynamic.
