Both households and non-financial corporations are beginning to redeem their loans early, as financing costs, mostly at floating rate, rise in line with higher interest rates. Asset quality remains at historically low levels. Deposits are growing at a slower pace, as households and non- financial corporates begin to use their savings to pay down loans. Households are also diversifying part of their savings into Government saving products (Saving Certificates), with have a higher remuneration than deposits.
