    Latvian Companies Borrow 3x Less Than in Europe – Why?

    Latvia's corporate and household lending volumes are among the lowest in Europe. The outstanding loan balance relative to GDP is only 27.5%, compared to the eurozone average of 76.9%.

    Why are lending volumes so low?

    • Conservative bank policies post-financial crisis
    • Limited SME access to credit
    • Insufficient use of alternative financing
    • Entrepreneur concerns about debt obligations
