The Banque centrale du Luxembourg informs that, based on preliminary data, the aggregated balance sheet of credit institutions reached 923 653 million euros on 30 September 2021, compared to 922 328 million euros on 31 August 2021, an increase of 0.14%. This increase is due to the monthly progression of claims towards the non-banking sector and the other assets that largely compensates the decrease of the claims towards the banking sector.  On an annual basis, the aggregated balance sheet increased by 10.2%. sdb10
