Demand for housing loans continued declining across some eurozone countries, according to survey results in the second quarter of 2021. Among the countries where banks reported a decline in loan demand higher than the banks reporting an increase in loan demand were Slovenia, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Slovakia, and Italy. The source adds that lower consumer confidence was the main reason for this decrease, as banks cited the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic on households. In Estonia, Czprus, Greece, Lithuania, and Latvia, on the other hand, more than 75 percent of banks surveyed reported growth in loan demand.

Supplementary notes
This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Over the past three months (apart from normal seasonal fluctuations), how has the demand for loans to
households changed at your bank? Please refer to the financing need of households independent of whether this need will result in a loan or not."
* The numbers provided for this country follow a slightly different methodology, as the weighted net percentage is based on the share of each bank in the total loan outstanding amount of the banks included in the sample.
