The borrowing of non-banking sectors from domestic banks continues to increase. After September's stagnation, the overall year-on-year increase in the volume of loans rebounded to its highest value since comparable data have been available. The volume of corporate borrowing rebounded somewhat in October. The growth of loans for other purposes strengthened appreciably to total 81.7%, year on year. A somewhat greater divergence in the structure of loans by purpose was observed in consumer loans, as their year-on-year growth rate climbed to 19.9%. Although Slovenia exceeds the average growth of loans in the EMU more than threefold, it has been slow to approach the volume of the non-banking sector's indebtedness in the EMU due to its relatively low base.
