UK February mortgage approvals 43.54k vs 40.50k expected

  • Latest data released by the BOE - 29 March 2023
  • Prior 39.64k
  • Net consumer credit £1.4 billion vs £1.3 billion expected
  • Prior £1.6 billion; revised to £1.7 billion

Net mortgage lending to individuals decreased from £2.0 billion to £0.7 billion in February, which if you exclude to Covid era, represents the lowest level of net borrowing since April 2016. That's a sign that tighter financial conditions are weighing on lending activity and will be something to watch for on the part of the BOE moving forward.
