The financing of non-financial corporations (NFCs) remains positive in Q3 2022. MFI loans flows continue to rise while debt securities issuances flows remain negative, as in the previous two quarters. This re-intermediation is explained in particular by the fact that rates on the securities markets have risen faster than rates on bank loans to NFCs. Net issuances of shares and equities reduced by net purchases decrease slightly. At the same time, financial investment of NFCs declines for the first time since 2018. In particular, deposits fall, in contrast to previous quarters. Investment in securities also declines, influenced by sales of money market fund and non-MMF investment fund shares.

In the third quarter of 2022, households' financial investment flows remain high. Deposits rebound sharply and shift to passbook savings, encouraged by the increase in interest rates on regulated savings products. Investment flows in securities are less sustained than in Q2, with lower flows into listed shares and non-MMF investment fund shares. Investment in life insurance and pension plans becomes more moderate, with again net purchases of unit-linked products and net sales of non-unit linked products. MFI loans financing remains strong, at a level close to the previous quarter, driven by mortgage loans.
