Loans to Greek businesses increased by 1.4 billion euros in February, a development attributed to the acceleration of investment projects financed through the Recovery and Resilience Fund and other financial instruments, raising business credit to €83.7 billion, from €82.3 billion in January.
This resulted in a €1.3 billion decrease in business deposits. As for households, their savings decreased by €396 million in February, after having decreased by €1 billion in January. Total household deposits reached €149.1 billion at end-February and have returned to 2007 levels.
