It also said that spreads on overall secured and corporate lending to household widened during the period.<\/p>\n<p>The report stated: \u201cLenders reported that household demand for total unsecured lending increased in the current quarter, and was also expected to increase in the next quarter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Availability of credit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemand for corporate lending increased across all firm sizes in the review quarter, except demand for credit card from small businesses and lending from other financial corporation\u2019s (OFCs).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CBN noted that some of the factors that drove the overall increase in the availability of credit to the corporate sector were brighter economic outlook, changing sector specific risk, increased appetite for risk, tight wholesale <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/get-quick-loan-for-real-estate-investment\/\">funding<\/a> conditions and favourable liquidity conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The survey further stated: \u201cLenders reported that the prevailing <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/nigeria-property-center\/\">commercial property<\/a> prices negatively influenced credit availability of the commercial <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/property-center-nigeria\/\">real estate<\/a> sector in the current and next quarters.
