Utlåningen till företag ökade sommaren 202628.9.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Pressmeddelande

Under sommaren 2026 ökade det utestående beloppet av företagslån i banker med verksamhet i Finland. Företagen lyfte rikligt med lån i juni–augusti jämfört med motsvarande tidpunkt 2025. Lagstiftningen förändrades (pensionsreformen) och arbetspensionsanstalternas dotterbolag kan därför i sina fastighetsinvesteringar använda finansiell hävstång i större utsträckning än tidigare, vilket för sin del förklarar ökningen i utbetalningarna av företagslån.

Growth rate of the corporate loan stock accelerated in summer 202628.9.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release

The stock of corporate loans at banks operating in Finland grew during summer 2026. Non-financial corporations drew down a large volume of loans in June–August compared with the corresponding period in 2025. Legislation changed (pension reform), and as a result subsidiaries of employee pension institutions can use leverage in their real estate investments more extensively than before, which in part explains why non-financial corporations drew down more loans.
