Excluding trusts, bank lending rose an annual 6.5 percent to 497.758 trillion yen, accelerating from the 5.1 percent gain in the previous month.
Lending from trusts gained 4.5 percent on year to 72.353 trillion yen, up from 2.7 percent a month earlier. Lending from foreign banks jumped 10.1 percent to 3.242 trillion yen, slowing from 12.1 percent in May.
