  • The Power and Energy industry received less than 5% of credit throughout the period, reflecting minimal support for the industry.
  • Manufacturing’s share increased from 52.4% in January to 56.9% in September, indicating growing prioritisation of this sector.

The Oil and Gas industry also remained significant, with its share fluctuating between 40.0% and 42.8% over the nine months. Notably, there was a small proportion of credit allocated to the Power and Energy industry, which consistently received less than 5% of the total credit to the Industrial sector.
