All currency deposits from other financial corporations (OFCs) fell by £44.6bn in December. This decline was more than accounted for by falls in deposits placed by other auxiliary activities (-£26.9bn), securities dealers (-£14.1bn) and fund managers (-£9.7bn); deposits from bank holding companies increased by £14bn. Deposits from non-financial corporations (NFCs) rose by £3.7bn, driven primarily by increased deposits from development, buying, selling and renting of real estate (£2.9bn).

All currency lending to OFCs declined by £22.5bn, mainly reflecting a decrease in lending to securities dealers (-£6.1bn), bank holding companies (-£4.3bn) and other financial intermediaries (-£3.8bn). Lending to NFCs declined by £7.9bn. The decline was well spread across all industries, except public administration & defence which increased its borrowing by £1.2bn.
