HOUSEHOLD WELFARE POVERTY INDEBTEDNESS CONSUMPTION PRICE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND CREDIT CONSTRAINTS There is considerable public concern about the level of household indebtedness in Georgia. The new regulation expected to come into force on November 1, 2018 addresses this concern by enforcing the responsible credit framework targeting commercial banks. The objective of this note is twofold. First, the note presents micro-level evidence using the nationally representative household survey to understand households’ borrowing patterns with supporting evidence from perceptions surveys. Second, the note examines plausible causal effects of over-indebtedness on household’s welfare. This paper is structured as follows. Section 2 provides macroeconomic indicators and findings from perception survey as the background evidence. Section 3 illustrates the prevalence of borrowing among the households and identifies type of households that borrow from different sources. Section 4 shows results from the causal impact analysis of bank loans on household welfare. Section 5 concludes with directions for future research. 2019-06-11T20:37:36Z 2019-06-11T20:37:36Z 2018-11-05 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/314911559679097167/Georgia-indebtedness-poverty-note-analysis-based-on-integrated-household-survey http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31831 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Poverty Study Europe and Central Asia Georgia
