Methodology

This analysis is drawn from GlobalData’s Global Retail Banking Analytics database, which tracks the size and growth of the major lines of business and the provision of credit to individuals at both market and competitor level for 35 key retail banking markets around the world. Data is gathered from a wide range of sources including the central banks, stock exchanges, investment associations, and national statistics offices of each of the countries covered. The data is then standardized to ensure like-for-like comparison.

Consumer loans include mortgage loans secured on domestic property, credit card loans, and personal loans. Personal loans refer to all secured and unsecured non-mortgage and non-credit card lending to households including margin loans, motor finance, student loans made on a commercial basis, payroll loans, payday loans, employee loans, lines of credit, and micro-credit loans to individuals.

Forecast data is updated on a rolling basis throughout the year in alignment with the publication of actual data by central banks and regulatory bodies across markets. The previous year’s data will be updated by the end of first half of the current year as per annual cycle. For example: 2021 data will be updated by end of June 2022.
