7월 은행 가계대출 5조4000억 원 늘어…증가폭은 전달보다 줄어

Bank Household Lending Grew 5.4 Trillion Won in July, a Smaller Rise Than the Month Before

한국은행이 8월 14일 발표한 ’2026년 7월 금융시장 동향’에 따르면, 정책모기지론을 포함한 은행권 가계대출 규모는 7월 전월보다 5조4000억 원 늘어난 1194조8000억 원으로 집계됐습니다. 증가는 4개월 연속이지만, 증가폭은 6월의 7조6000억 원보다 2조 원 이상 줄었습니다. 주택담보대출은 전월 대비 3조4000억 원 증가한 948조4000억 원으로, 4월부터 6월(4조3000억 원)까지 커지던 증가폭이 둔화됐습니다. 전세대출은 8000억 원 줄며 10개월 연속 감소 기조를 이어갔습니다. 신용대출 등 기타대출 규모는 전월 대비 2조 원 증가한 245조4000억 원으로 추산됐습니다. 국내 개인 주식 순매수는 활황장이던 5월 42조6000억 원, 6월 52조 원에 이르렀다가 7월 3조4000억 원으로 줄었는데, 한국은행은 이를 기타대출 증가폭이 둔화된 배경 중 하나로 짚었습니다.

Translation

According to the 'Financial Market Trends for July 2026' released by the Bank of Korea on 14 August, banks' household lending, including policy mortgage loans, stood at 1,194.8 trillion won in July, up 5.4 trillion won from the previous month. The increase kept the expansion going for a fourth consecutive month, but was more than 2 trillion won smaller than June's 7.6 trillion won rise. Mortgage lending grew 3.4 trillion won from the previous month to 948.4 trillion won — a slower rise than in June, when it had grown 4.3 trillion won after widening every month since April. Jeonse deposit loans fell by 800 billion won, extending their decline to a tenth consecutive month. Other lending, such as unsecured credit loans, was estimated at 245.4 trillion won, up 2 trillion won from the previous month. Individual investors' net stock purchases, which had reached 42.6 trillion won in May and 52 trillion won in June during the market rally, dropped to 3.4 trillion won in July — a backdrop the Bank of Korea cited in the slower growth of other lending.

Grammar points

전월 대비compared with the previous month

The comparison baseline in economic statistics. 전월 대비 3조4000억 원 증가 means the change is measured against last month — not last year (전년 동월 대비). Confusing the two changes the claim entirely.

Example: 주택담보대출은 전월 대비 3조4000억 원 증가했습니다.

Mortgage lending rose 3.4 trillion won from the previous month.

N개월 연속for N consecutive months

States how long a trend has run unbroken: 4개월 연속 확대, 10개월 연속 감소. The verb after it names the direction of the streak.

Example: 전세대출은 10개월 연속 감소 기조를 이어갔습니다.

Jeonse loans extended their decline to a tenth consecutive month.

-(으)로 추산되다to be estimated at

Reports an estimated rather than finalized figure: 245조4000억 원으로 추산됐다. Weaker than 집계되다 (tallied) — the distinction between estimate and count matters in financial reporting.

Example: 기타대출 규모는 245조4000억 원으로 추산됐습니다.

Other lending was estimated at 245.4 trillion won.
