MINSK, 3 November (BelTA) - The growth of lending in national currency in Belarus accelerated to 1.2% in September 2025, after a 0.3% increase in August, BelTA reports citing a macroeconomic review by the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB).
"The key factor was the expansion of the corporate loan portfolio (up 1.3%) in September, following a contraction (down 0.2%) in August. The expansion was driven by state-owned enterprises (up 2.6%), while private sector loan debt continued to decline (down 0.4%). The household loan portfolio maintained its previous growth rate (up 1.1%),” the EDB noted.
According to analysts, the expansion of lending will continue to support the growth of domestic demand.
