Analysis
How far is private-sector credit growth running above inflation?
What the chart shows
Credit grew 31.20% while headline inflation was 4.20% in the same BoT observation month. The gap describes pace, not the quality or distribution of lending.
Why it matters
Credit growing faster than prices can support activity, but the benefit depends on where lending goes and whether borrowers can service it.
