Suncorp Group Ltd (ASX: SUN) has reported its quarterly update for 31 March 2019.
Its total lending portfolio ended the quarter at $58.9 billion, up 1% from March 2018 but down 0.5% from December 2018.
Growth in the business loans portfolio was offset by a $314 million reduction of home loans because of price competition and a slowdown of total credit growth.
Suncorp Banking and Wealth CEO David Carter said: “We expect home and business lending growth to improve in the June 2019 quarter, particularly following Suncorp’s $3 billion lending pledge to the small business and agribusiness sectors”.
