How did this increase distribute across different loan categories (business, consumer, real estate)?: Business loans increased by €330 million to €27.930 billion, with €10.456 billion allocated to SMEs. Loans to self-employed individuals, farmers, and sole proprietorships rose by €161 million to €9.778 billion. Consumer and real estate loans saw increases of €250 million (€16.254 billion total) and €844 million (€25.370 billion total), respectively.
What are the potential long-term implications of this trend for the Greek economy and financial stability?: Continued growth in private sector loans could fuel economic expansion, but also carries risks of increased non-performing loans and potential financial instability if not managed carefully. The allocation to SMEs is positive, but close monitoring of the overall debt level is critical for maintaining long-term stability.
What is the overall impact of this €1.617 billion increase in private sector loan values on the Greek economy?: The €1.617 billion increase in the nominal value of private sector loans managed by Greek AMCs signals potentially increased lending activity and economic growth. However, further analysis is needed to determine the precise effects on overall economic health and potential risks.

The rise in loans to businesses, including SMEs, suggests increased investment and activity, contributing to economic expansion and employment opportunities.
