Abstract
⺠We analyze foreign currency loans (FCL) of households in CEECs. ⺠We use survey data from nine countries on loan plans between 2007 and 2010. ⺠Despite the financial crisis, FCL play an important role in some CEECs. ⺠FCL are driven by households' lack of trust in the stability of the local currency. ⺠Remittances and expectations of euro adoption are important in selected regions.
