UK February mortgage approvals 60.38k vs 56.50k expected

  • Latest data released by the BOE - 2 April 2024
  • Prior 55.23k; revised to 56.09k
  • Net consumer credit £1.4 billion vs £1.6 billion expected
  • Prior £1.9 billion; revised to £1.8 billion

Individuals borrowed, on net, £1.5 billion of mortgage debt in February, compared to the £1.1 billion of net repayments in January. Meanwhile, consumer credit growth fell slightly to 8.7% in February as opposed to the 9.0% reading in January. It is still a good reading but it only speaks to how poor economic conditions were for the better part of last year.
