Broad money fell by £0.8 billion in July, the first negative outturn since April 2016. Within this, households' money increased by a similar amount to the recent average but this was largely offset by a fall for non-intermediate other financial corporations (NIOFCs). Private non-financial corporations (PNFCs) money fell by a small amount, the first fall since April 2016.
