LENDING BY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
The lending activities of financial institutions are grouped for statistical purposes into four major types of lending: housing, personal, commercial and leasing. Information regarding housing finance is presented in chapter 10 HOUSING. Table 27.29 shows the size of commitments by financial institutions for the four types of lending activity. It should be noted that, although commitments are firm offers of finance made by institutions that have been accepted by borrowers, not all commitments are taken up by borrowers.
LEASE FINANCE
Table 27.30 shows the value of lease finance commitments made by significant lenders (banks, money market corporations, finance companies, general financiers, etc.) to trading and financial enterprises, non-profit organisations, governments, public authorities and individuals.
PERSONAL FINANCE
Table 27.31 shows the value of commitments made by significant lenders (banks, credit co-operatives, finance companies, etc.) to individuals for their own personal (non-business) use. This includes credit card facilities and personal loans, but excludes secured housing finance.
COMMERCIAL FINANCE
Table 27.32 shows the value of commitments, made by significant lenders (banks, finance companies, money market corporations, etc.) to lend to government, private and public enterprises, non-profit organisations and individuals for investment and business purposes.
