The household debt of Ireland had collapsed for more than 20 times which appeared to be much apace than Europe in 2016, underlining the amount of Ireland’s recovery from the debt-induced financial crisis.

The household credit serves as the disposable income percentage further weakened by 10.2 percent point in the previous year, reaching 140.9 percent versus the 0.5 pp overall downturn in the European Union.

The bank also mentioned that the contraction has weighed on the reduction in debt and improvement in the household incomes. The indebtedness has declined by 52.9 percentage point as the year 2012 ends versus with the decreased in the broader EU  by 3.3 percent.
