Lending to individuals data to the end of November 2017 include:
Secured net lending remained stable in November at £3.5bn, broadly in line with the average seen since 2016.
Mortgage approvals rose in November, driven by a continuing increase in remortgaging approvals to 53,922.
The annual growth rate of consumer credit slowed to 9.1% in November, the lowest rate since December 2015. This fall partly reflects a particularly strong flow in November 2016 falling out of the annual growth rate.
