Income elasticity of credits

A measure of the percentage by which banking system credit increases when GDP rises by one percent. – Experience shows that the income elasticity of credits in industrialized countries has been greater than one in recent decades. The financial system – or at least part of it – thus swings more strongly than the economy. – See cyclicality.
