Last spring, lending had plunged due to the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
New consumer loans in euro fell by EUR1.4 milion (RON6.9 million) in April, and the volume was six times lower than in the year-ago month.
Consumer loans in lei and euros amounted to almost RON2.53 billion in April 2021, four times higher than in the corresponding month of last year.
Four months into the year, new consumer loans in lei and euros stood at almost RON8.7 billion, 36.6% higher than in January-April 2020.
