Financial Conditions (November 2023)

Monetary Aggregates   For the month of November 2023, the monthly growth rates of the monetary aggregates M1B and M2 (measured on a daily average basis) were 0.03% and 0.67%, respectively. The annual growth rates of M1B and M2 decreased to 3.03% and 5.33%, respectively, mainly because of slower year-on-year growth in net capital inflows. For the first eleven months of this year, the average annual growth rates of M1B and M2 were 2.79% and 6.34%, respectively.

Loans and Investments of Financial Institutions   At the end of November 2023, the monthly growth rate of total outstanding loans and investments (measured on a cost basis) of monetary financial institutions was 0.85%, higher than that at the end of the previous month. Meanwhile, the annual growth rate increased from 5.93% at the end of the previous month to 6.24% mainly because of faster growth in bank claims on the private sector. If loans and investments extended by life insurance companies and loans reclassified and written off by monetary financial institutions were all taken into account, the total outstanding loans and investments of financial institutions would show an annual growth rate of 5.52%, higher than the 5.35% registered at the end of the previous month.
