This aligns with the decline in bill rates and the BCI (Business Climate Index) reflecting a weaker financing environment for enterprises [1][7]. - Factors contributing to the decline in real credit include seasonal variations in credit issuance, a tightening of production and capital expenditures by some enterprises due to "anti-involution" policies, and improved cash flow for SMEs following the implementation of regulations to clear overdue payments [1][7].
