The financing of non-financial corporations (NFCs) increases in Q2 2022. Net issuances of shares and equities reduced by net purchases increase, following negative flows in the previous quarter. MFI loans flows continue to rise and flows of debt securities issuances remain negative. At the same time, financial investment increases. Deposits rise compared to the previous quarter. Investment in securities is on the rise again, driven by money market fund shares whose flows are now again positive, and by debt securities, which continue to grow.

In Q2 2022, general government financing is lower than in Q1. The seasonally adjusted flows of debt securities issuances are negative, for the first time since the outbreak of the health crisis. Deposits on the liabilities side increase, as do MFI loans. Financial investment declines due to a decrease in deposits. Securities are stable, as the decrease in debt securities investment is offset by the increase in net equities investment.

In the second quarter of 2022, households' financial investment continues to grow. Deposits slow slightly, following the moderation in passbook savings. Investment in securities increases, driven by a rise in investment in listed shares and non-MMF investment fund shares. Investment in life insurance and pension plans rises slightly, with net purchases of unit-linked products and net sales of non-unit linked contracts, as in the previous quarter. MFI loans flows are again strong, at a slightly lower level than in the previous quarter.
