Meanwhile, the central bank said that diffusion index-based results pointed to expectations of overall net tightening of
credit standards for household loans in the fourth quarter of 2018 as respondent banks anticipate a deterioration in the liquidity of their portfolio and a decreased deposit base.
For the current quarter, respondents expect a further rise to plus 16.3, while they also think
credit standards will tighten further, the central bank added.
Philippine banks further tightened
credit standards for loans to enterprises and households amid perception of stricter financial system regulations, the deterioration of the profile of corporate borrowers, and reduced tolerance for risks.
This team not only publicly endorses
credit standards that are the backbone of a credit culture, but also employs these standards when formulating strategies to become a high performance bank."
In a statement, the central bank said, 'The tighter overall
credit standards for commercial real estate loans reflected respondent banks' wider loan margins, reduced credit line sizes, stricter collateral requirements and loan covenants, and increased use of interest rate floors.'
