This growth contrasts with the slight contraction in December, the first such monthly year-on-year decrease since April 2022. Notably, the vehicle finance sectors experienced increases in December, with new car finance up by 8% and commercial vehicle finance by 1%.
In contrast, the plant and machinery finance sector saw a 22% decline.
