BANK CREDIT AND THE IRISH ECONOMY, 1988-98
May 17th, 2012 by Conor McCabe
This is the distribution and growth of bank credit in Ireland from 1988 to 1998. The figures are taken from the Central Bank of Ireland Quarterly Bulletins. The lion’s share of new credit went to financial intermediation (investment in financial products) and personal consumption (mortgages/personal lending). Manufacture is near the bottom in terms of growth in credit.
