The survey aims to measure the capacity of households to service their debt, using the debt service ratio as a key parameter for this assessment. The findings of this survey are intended to inform the Bank’s policy decisions as well as gauge the risk to financial stability emanating from the buildup of vulnerabilities within the sub-sector. In this survey, the term debt means all forms of credit available to households and are classified into housing loan, motor vehicle loan, credit card loan and personal loan (unsecured loan); the type of loans that are normally associated with household debt. Use year end values (December 31st), unless otherwise stated, to complete the questionnaire.
