Stable industry loan growth of 3.9% YoY in Aug 2019 (July: 3.9% YoY) with momentum for household loan and non-household loans holding up. The industry loan growth was unchanged at 3.9% YoY in Aug 2019. Non-household loan growth was stable at 2.9% YoY while the household loan growth was 4.6% YoY (July: 4.7% YoY). On a YTD annualised basis, total industry growth improved to 2.9% vs. 2.4% annualised for the first 7 months of 2019. We keep our loan growth assumption for the sector at 4.0–5.0% in 2019 as well as our expectation of another OPR cut of 25bps in 2H19 which will be supportive of economic growth. Meanwhile, should Budget 2020 turn out to be mildly expansionary in line with market expectations, this will be positive on loan growth as well as mitigating the downside risk on the sector’s asset quality.
