In May 2024, gross credit to the real sector of the economy totaled 1.30 billion kwanzas, 3.27 percent more than in the same month "mainly driven by the significant reinforcement in the "Extractive Industries" subsector", says the note consulted by Lusa.
The total credit granted under Notice No. 10/2022 of the BNA for the promotion of the Real Sector reached 1.10 billion kwanzas, representing 84.60 percent of the total credit granted to this sector and 16.90 percent of the banking system's gross credit portfolio.
Compared to the same period last year, there was a significant increase of 223.13 billion kwanzas (25.41 percent), driven mainly by the financing of projects in the manufacturing subsector.
