Household credit refers to ‘comprehensive household debt’ that includes loans received by households from banks, insurance companies, loan companies, public financial institutions, etc., plus the amount used by cards before payment (sales credit).

Despite monetary tightening, Korea’s household credit continued to increase by KRW 8.2 trillion in the second quarter of last year, by KRW 17.1 trillion in the third quarter, and by KRW 7 trillion in the fourth quarter, but decreased by KRW 3.1 trillion in the first quarter of this year. After just one quarter, it returned to an upward trend.

In the third quarter, attention is being paid to whether the pace of increase in household debt may have slowed somewhat as financial institutions such as financial authorities and banks have taken measures to manage soundness in order to curb the rapid increase in household loans.
