UAE business loan demand rising gradually: Central Bank survey
The net balance measure for business lending rose to plus 11.8 in April-June from plus 4.6 in the previous quarter
DUBAI: Demand for business loans in the United Arab Emirates rose moderately in the April-June quarter while demand for personal loans rebounded slightly after dropping in the previous quarter, a central bank survey showed on Sunday.
The net balance measure for business lending - the weighted percentage of respondents reporting an increase in demand for loans minus those reporting a fall - rose to plus 11.8 in April-June from plus 4.6 in the previous quarter.
For the current quarter, respondents expect a further rise to plus 16.3, while they also think credit standards will tighten further, the central bank added.
