Definition: Bank account overdraft

Category: EU-SILC

The household is currently maintaining a negative balance on one of its bank accounts because of financial difficulties (urgent need of money, output higher than input, etc.). Interest is charged on the amount owed. The bank account does not need to be a current account. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/site/en/oj/2007/l_062/l_06220070301en00080015.pdf
