MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS Money supply contracted by 0.4 percent in April, triggering the annual growth rate to slow down to 1.9 percent from 4.5 percent recorded over the year to March 2020.

The downward trend resulted from the decline in domestic credit, which outweighed the increase in net foreign assets (NFA).

In annual terms, money supply continued to be driven by NFA, while domestic credit remained subdued.
Chart 1: Determinants of Money Supply (yoy% change) NFA increased by 1.1 percent and 22.3 percent over the month and over the year to April 2020, respectively.

The growth during the month reflected the net inflows recorded by Other Depository Corporations (ODCs).

The continued robust growth in NFA over the year implied that there is adequate foreign currency liquidity in the domestic banking sector.
Domestic credit, on the other hand, declined by 1.2 percent and 7.7 percent, month-on-month and over the year to April 2020, respectively.

The month-on-month decline was attributed mainly to the reduction in net claims on the Central Government and partially by the reduction in private sector credit.

Private sector credit4 fell by 0.4 percent month-on-month, owing mainly to the declines in credit to both, non-financial corporations and other resident sectors.
Similarly, annual growth of private sector credit remained subdued.

Total loans extended by ODCs to various sectors are depicted in table A4.

Chart 2: Private Sector Credit (yoy% change) Lending by OFIs5 declined further by 4.6 percent and 22.9 percent, month-on-month and year-on-year, respectively, to reach VT1, 623.6 million in April 2020.
