Lending has decelerated in Poland in 2016. The growth in deposits is also slower.
In 2016, the outstanding corporate debt increased by PLN 16 billion „only”. At the same time, the retail debt jumped by twice as much.
The recent shift in trends could be attributed to the worsening corporate investment climate as well it might be partially a consequence of the "bank tax" which has effectively made investments in government debt more attractive than commercial lending for banks (tbonds are exempted from tax). Moreover, the bank tax makes low margin (corporate) loans unprofitable for banks, forcing them to focus on high margin consumer loans instead.
