The Central Bank of Luxembourg has published provisional March 2026 balance sheet statistics for credit institutions showing the aggregate balance sheet total at EUR 1,026,980 million, up 2.60% from EUR 1,000,949 million at end-February 2026 and 4.06% higher than a year earlier. The monthly increase was driven mainly by higher claims on other banks and deposit-taking institutions on the asset side and by higher liabilities to other sectors on the liability side. The interbank balance, defined as the difference between interbank claims and liabilities, rose by EUR 13,655 million, or 6.14%, to EUR 236,077 million at end-March 2026. Loans to non-bank customers increased by EUR 1,261 million, or 1.05%, over the month and by EUR 5,654 million, or 4.88%, over 12 months. Over the year to March 2026, lending to non-financial corporations increased by EUR 1,370 million, residential mortgage lending to households rose by EUR 1,167 million, and lending to other financial intermediaries increased by EUR 2,789 million. On the liabilities side, resident non-bank sector deposits rose by EUR 14,204 million, or 4.51%, over the month and by EUR 19,351 million, or 6.25%, over 12 months. Within that annual change, deposits from other financial intermediaries, which accounted for 68.6% of the total at end-March 2026, increased by EUR 17,126 million, household deposits rose by EUR 2,776 million, deposits from non-financial corporations fell by EUR 3,344 million, and deposits from other sectors increased by EUR 2,793 million.
