(Financial monitoring committee says that the portfolio is growing and recovering).
According to the Financial Superintendency, the gross balance of the portfolio amounted to $664.3 trillion, consequently, the depth indicator stood at 47.8% of GDP.
In real terms, the gross portfolio varied 3.7%, behavior that reflects the increase in the balance in inter-monthly terms ($8.5 trillion); disbursements to households and companies for $36.3 trillion ($30.2 trillion in 2021); the effect of inflation, since the nominal growth rate is higher (16.7%); and the lesser relative importance of write-offs, which totaled $12.2 trillion in the last 12 months compared to the $14.2 trillion accumulated as of November 2021.

Financing for home purchase grew 1.6% real per year, a lower rate than that registered in the same period of 2021 (6.9%). This behavior is consistent with the correction of the effect of inflation, given that in nominal terms the type of housing grows 14.3% annually.

The past-due portfolio reached $25.1 trillion, an increase compared to $24.1 trillion in November 2021.
