Notes on Financial market statistics

Part 4, Growth rates

From 2015 exchange rate adjustments and confirmed credit losses are included in the calculation of growth rates. This reflects the actual lending growth more accurately. Exchange rate adjustments are included in the calculation to eliminate the effect of changes in the exchange rate, as these are value changes that do not reflect actual lending growth. Confirmed credit losses are included to eliminate the effect of loans written off as losses, as a credit loss should not be treated as a repayment that reduces the growth rate. The adjustments in the calculation also ensure that the growth rate aligns better with the growth rate calculation used by the ECB.
