Abstract

Credit growth is an important indicator of the financial stability within a country. We aim to investigate this issue, by analyzing the credit growth in Romania during 2000- 2022. We find that Covid crisis impacts positively and significantly credit growth. We bring new insights regarding the effects of macroeconomic variables like GPD growth, inflation, and long-term external debt service on credit growth. These results remain robust when we employ several categories of credit growth (e.g. by currency, by maturity, by type of credit) as dependent variables.
