Meanwhile, gross credit increased 1.6% to AED 2.2 tn, driven by a rise of AED 19.5 bn in domestic credit and AED 16.2 bn in foreign credit. Within domestic lending, credit to non-banking financial institutions grew by 1.9%, lending to the private sector rose by 1.4%, and 0.2% to government-related entities. These increases offset a 0.3% decline in credit extended directly to the government.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Total bank deposits climbed 2.3% to AED 2.9 tn<\/strong>, with resident deposits rising 2.4% to AED 2.7 tn and non-resident deposits increasing 0.4% to AED 248.6 bn. Among resident deposit categories, non-banking financial institutions led with a 5.1% rise, followed by a 4.3% increase from government-related entities and a 3.1% uptick from the private sector.
