ECB Reports Tightening Financing Conditions, Eased Corporate Credit Standards, Tightened Household Mortgage Standards, and Impact on Bank Liquidity

The European Central Bank (ECB) reports that financing conditions tightened in the first quarter of 2024, but to a lesser extent compared to the previous survey round. Demand for corporate loans in the euro area significantly decreased due to high borrowing costs that are not expected to decrease until mid-year. Euro zone banks have eased corporate credit standards but tightened them for household mortgages. The smaller ECB balance sheet negatively affects bank liquidity and financing conditions.
