In June, banks saw a rise of KRW.6.0 trillion in household loans, which showed a similar level of pace from the previous month (up KRW6.0 trillion) , as mortgage loans went up at a faster rate (up KRW5.7 trillion → up KRW6.3 trillion) with increased demand for policy mortgage loans and recovery in housing transactions. Other types of loans turned lower slightly compared with the previous month (up KRW0.3 trillion → down KRW0.3 trillion) .

In the nonbanking sector, household loans fell at a faster rate (down KRW0.7 trillion → down KRW1.6 trillion) due to the quarterly write-off of nonperforming loans. Mutual finance businesses (down KRW1.0 trillion) , specialized credit finance companies (down KRW0.3 trillion) , and savings banks (down KRW0.3 trillion) saw declines, while insurance companies saw a slight rise (up KRW0.02 trillion) .

(Assessment)

The financial authorities assessed that the growth of household loans in the first half of 2024 has been on a stable path within the level of GDP growth rate. However, with mortgage loans continuing to expand and looming uncertainties regarding the future of macroeconomic conditions, such as interest rates and housing market situation, the financial authorities will continue to stay alert and tightly manage the pace of household loan growth within the level of annual GDP growth by ensuring a seamless implementation of the second phase stressed debt service ratio (DSR) rule from September this year.
