In addition, credit disbursement in August posted a 7.0 percent growth (yoy), higher than the credit growth in July, at 6.7 percent. The credits given were only in the form of loans, and did not include financial instruments equivalent to loans, such as Debt Securities, Banker's Acceptances, and repo bills.
Furthermore, the credits did not include those given by foreign-based commercial banks and credits distributed to the central government and non-residents.
Net claims to the central government in August grew by 5.0 percent (yoy). In July 2025, it had contracted by 6.2 percent.
