The population's mortgage debt (including the mortgage portfolio and securitized loans), according to preliminary data, increased by 0.7% (0.6% in June), which is comparable to the average monthly increase for the first half of 2024. The volume of mortgage issuances for the month increased by 15%.

The consumer loan portfolio continued to shrink, by 0.5% according to preliminary data, after a 0.8% decrease in June. Interest rates on them are still high, although they are gradually decreasing.

The banking sector's claims on companies (including bond investments) increased by 1.1% (0.9% the previous month). About a third of the increase came from housing developers.

The growth rate of household funds in banks is comparable to the previous month: 1.3% after 1.5% in June. Legal entities' funds increased by a significant 1.4% (-0.2% in June), which is partly explained by the advance payment of government contracts.

The sector's profit (RUB 397 billion) remained at the June level (RUB 392 billion minus dividends from Russian subsidiary banks).
