The Bank of Italy has published the first quarter 2026 editions of its Statistics Series reports on credit conditions and risk and on financing and funding by sector and geographical area. The releases compile March 2026 data on lending, funding and credit quality across banks and financial institutions, including breakdowns by sector and territory, and they also introduce a classification change from the June 2026 edition by replacing customer economic activity tables based on ATECO 2007 with new tables based on ATECO 2025. The financing and funding publication shows total loans of EUR 1,819.7 billion, deposits of EUR 2,238.2 billion, securities issued of EUR 359.5 billion and customer assets under management of EUR 3,215.2 billion. It also reports a 2.5 percent twelve-month increase in loans overall and EUR 12.0 billion of new long-term house-purchase mortgage contracts for consumer households in the quarter. The credit conditions and risk publication shows the annual flow of adjusted non-performing loans relative to the previous year's performing loans at 1.04 percent in Q1 2026 overall, with higher ratios for non-financial companies at 1.91 percent and lower ratios for consumer households at 0.50 percent.
