Liabilities and Financial Vulnerability
23.04.14 9
Comparison of the growth and the re-adjustment of total loan portfolios
� The downward adjustment of total loan portfolios after vigorous increase before the crises has been relatively modest in all three countries
� The biggest upsurge in 2005-2008 occurred in Lithuania where the loan portfolio increased ca 6 times; the strongest cutback was in Latvia where the loan portfolio is still declining
23.04.14 10
� The loan portfolio is increasing since April 2013 in Estonia, since June 2013 in Lithuania while in Latvia the decrease continues
� Households show modest intentions to borrow for consumption in all Baltic countries where the portfolio of consumer loan and other borrowing continues to decrease
Housing and consumer loan portfolios show different developments
23.04.14 11
The average interest rate of housing loans
• The biggest drop in the interest rate of housing loans was in Latvia. In Estonia and Lithuania the interest rates are already on very low level
� In 2014, there is still room for the interest rates to fall in Latvia
The share of non-performing housing loans has been at very high level in Latvia
23.04.14 12
• The highest peak in non-performing loans (NPL) was in Latvia (16.5% in 2011 Q3) while the Estonian households have showed the least difficulties in repaying their housing loans. In Estonia, the peak was at 4.5% in 2010 Q3
� The repayment problems are related to the income declines during the recession which were experienced by majority of households
� The share of NPL at the end of 2013 was in Estonia at 1.4%, in Lithuania at 7.5% and in Latvia at 10.2%
Non-performing consumer loans back on track only in Estonia
23.04.14 13
• The peak in non-performing consumer loans was in Latvia at 22.8% and in Lithuania at 22.8% in 2011 Q2. In Estonia, the peak was at 9.5% in 2010 Q3
� The share of NPL at the end of 2013 was in Estonia at 4.6%, in Lithuania at 13.1% and in Latvia at 17.4%
� The share of population who is eligible for obtaining consumer loans is significantly lower compared to pre-crisis period
The share of financially vulnerable households is hardly decreasing after the recession
23.04.14 14
• The share of households who have difficulties to cover their everyday expenses is in Latvia 22%, in Lithuania 13% and in Estonia 9%
• The share of households who are not able to cover unexpected expenses of 200-300 EUR is in Latvia 74%, in Lithuania 60% and in Estonia 45%
Most of the reported arrears of households are on utility bills
23.04.14 15
• Every fourth household in Latvia, every eighth household in Lithuania and every tenth household in Estonia reports arrears on utility bills
� There is very slow recovery after the recession regardless the drop of unemployment rate and the rise in average real wage
In comparison to other EU countries, Estonian and Lithuanian households are financially relatively well
23.04.14 16
• In Estonia and Lithuania, the share of any kind of arrears (on utility bills, rent, hire purchase or loan repayment) is close to the EU average
� There were more households in arrears (15.2%) in Poland which did not experience economic recession in 2009 compared to Estonia and Lithuania.
� For comparison, 11% households in Finland and 10% households in France report arrears.
23.04.14 17
Estonian households are the least distressed from their housing costs
• In Estonia, 29% of all households feel financial burden of total housing costs (expenses on utilities, rent or mortgage payments) which is lower than the EU average (37%)
� Hence, there are more households which can improve their living conditions without facing difficulties in Estonia than in Latvia and Lithuania
