* Starting from December 1988, more detailed statistics on loans to the transport sector.
to building, construction, property development and investment and to financial concerns are available. They will be published in the Monthly Digest of Statistics from the January 1989 issue onwards.
• In December 1988, the return for reporting loans for use by sector was revised. As a result of this, some authorized institutions have now more properly classified their loans according to intended usage rather than the business of the loan recipients. This reclassification is an important reason accounting for the significant increase In loans to certain sectors, for example, the building, construction and property development sector and financial concerns.
This excludes funds advanced to banks and deposit-taking companies
