Measures the annual percentage change in the total volume of credit provided by commercial banks to various sectors in Qatar. It serves as a key indicator of liquidity and credit availability within the domestic economy. High growth often signals economic expansion, while low growth may indicate tightening financial conditions or a slowdown in borrowing demand.
Calculated by comparing the total outstanding credit at the end of the current month with the same month of the previous year. Data is aggregated from commercial bank balance sheets by the Qatar Central Bank.
