What the numbers say

Short term

The latest readings
  • The latest figure is MVR 937.7 million for Aug 2026, up 63.4% from Jul 2026 and up 56.8% on the same month a year earlier.
  • The change on a year earlier averaged +15.9% over the last three months, against −7.7% in the three months before: the year-on-year change has turned positive.
  • That annual change is unusual by the standard of the past ten years: 4.1 standard deviations above the average.

Long term

The record as a whole
  • Trend growth over the past 10 years is 0.4% a year (least-squares fit on the logarithm; R² 0.01, a loose fit: the series has not followed a steady path, and this rate says little).
  • Measured end to end, compound growth is 16.7% a year over five years and 3.1% a year over ten.
  • The record high was MVR 1.35 billion in Jun 2008; the latest is 30.6% below it.
  • Year-on-year growth has typically varied by about 15.9 percentage points (one standard deviation) over the past five years.

How to read this series

Bank lending by sector. Loans and advances outstanding from banks and other lenders, by the industry of the borrower. It shows where credit is concentrated and which activities are borrowing more.

  • Shown in current prices (nominal). Part of any long-run rise reflects inflation rather than a larger real amount.
  • A stock: it is the amount outstanding at the end of each month, not activity during it, so periods are never added together.
  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.

Terms such as percentage points, flows and stocks, and trend growth are explained in How to read the tracker.
