Lending survey

Banks report lower losses and loan impairments

In Danmarks Nationalbank's lending survey for the 2nd quarter of 2021, almost half of the 17 banks surveyed report a decrease in the share of loan impairments and losses from the first to the second quarter. This is the case for both private and corporate customers. The decrease is in contrast to the banks' responses in the first quarter, where they expected the losses to remain unchanged.
