New Zealand retail lending to hit $265.6b in 2023

Total retail loan balance outstanding is set to reach the same amount.

New Zealand’s retail lending market will reach $265.6b (NZ$395.9b) in 2023, with total retail loan balance outstanding set to hit $265.6b (NZ$395.9b) from $195.6b (NZ$291.6b) in 2018, according to a GlobalData report.

Majority of the country’s loan balance outstanding is from residential mortgage, personal loans, and credit card balances. Total consumer debt is estimated at $207b (NZ$321.6b) in 2019.

“Mortgage loans remain the largest and the fastest-growing segment supported by rising house prices, lower mortgage interest rates, and the government’s affordable housebuilding scheme, including the easing of loan-to-value,” said GlobalData senior banking and payments analyst Shivani Gupta.

Rising alternative non-bank lenders drove the increase in personal loans. Whilst the New Zealand lending space is dominated by the big banks ANZ, ASB, and Westpac, non-bank lenders, digital banks and digital lenders offer lower interest rates and faster loan approvals

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
