In December 2023, Bulgarian households deposited EUR 1.15 billion. The total amount of savings reached EUR 40 billion. Bank deposits of businesses and households amount to more than EUR 63.5 billion. In December last year, people were saving instead of spending money, because consumer loans have decreased as compared to November. They amounted to EUR 8.4 billion.
However, real estate purchases continue. In December 2023, Bulgarians borrowed mortgage loans to the tune of EUR 203.5 million, bringing the total amount of mortgage loans to EUR 42.2 billion, financial expert Levon Hampartsumian said. Analysts express some concern that business lending is lagging behind household lending, which is good for consumption but increases inflation.
