Between the months of October 2018 and October 2019, the aggregated balance sheet increased by 5.2%.
Net interbank lending, that is to say the difference between interbank loans and deposits, decreased by 6 518 million (3.9%) to reach 161 765 million euros at the end of October 2019.
Loans to resident non-bank customers decreased by 75 million euros, or 0.1%, between September 2019 and October 2019. Between October 2018 and October 2019, these loans increased by 3 274 million euros (3.5%).
The progression of loans to resident non-bank customers was largely attributable to two out of three main components.

With regard to the liability side, deposits from the resident non-bank sector decreased by 4 010 million euros or -1.5% between 30 September 2019 and 31 October 2019. On an annual basis, these deposits increased by 8 551 million euros, or 3.4%.
Between October 2018 and October 2019, deposits from the OFI sector (which had a share of 69.9% as at 31 October 2019 and comprised deposits made by monetary and non-monetary investment funds) increased by 6 323 million euros (3.7%).
