The credit impulse picked up very slightly in May 2019 in the euro area for households whereas it declined for non-financial corporations. The annual growth of loans to private non-financial sector stabilized at around 3.3%. Demand for credit is expected to rise in the third quarter of 2019 across all loan categories, stimulated by the easing of financing conditions, except for home loans, for which lending conditions are expected to tighten slightly.
