According to the quarterly national accounts by institutional sector, today released by the National Statistics Institute (INE), the household financing capacity decreased to 5.4% of GDP in the year to September, compared with a 5.7% financing capacity in the 12 months ended in the previous quarter.
This result was due to an “increase in final consumption expenditure by 0.7% which more than offset the slight increase 0.1% of disposable income ‘households. This variation in consumption and household disposable income “determined a decrease of 5.2% in household savings, setting up the savings rate at 9.7% of disposable income ‘, after reaching 10.3% in the year ending in the previous quarter.
Still in relation to families, INE states that the ‘slight increase’ disposable income was determined by the increase of 0.6% of earnings in the year to September, which was “almost offset by the increase [3.8%] of taxes on income ‘.
INE figures also show that” the tax burden has increased progressively, reaching 11.6 % of available [household] income, which corresponds to the maximum value recorded for the whole series. “
In what refers to non-financial corporations, the INE indicates that the need for financing these companies was in the 1.9% of GDP in the 12 months ending in September this year, an increase of 0.1 percentage points over the year completed in the previous quarter.
