Interest rate statistics expanded to include data on volumes of new loans and renegotiated loans

Pursuant to Regulation No ECB/2013/34 of 24 September 2013 concerning statistics on interest rates applied by monetary financial institutions and Latvijas Banka's Regulation No 133 of 16 May 2014 "Regulation for Compiling Interest Rate Reports of Monetary Financial Institutions", Latvijas Banka collects information on renegotiated loans starting with the data for December 2014. Previously, the data on such loans was not segregated from the data on new business. To provide information to the general public about new business volumes and trends of renegotiated loans, on 31 July 2015 Latvijas Banka starts publishing data on the volumes of new loans to households and non-financial corporations and the volumes of renegotiated loans on its website in the section "Statistics". The latter will be published as an 'of which' position.
