Abstract: Credit boom, defined as an excess of lending above its long-run trend, is an important financial phenomenon to be considered when designing a set of early warning systems indicators to detect financial crisis in order either to avoid it or to lessen its impact. This paper presents an analysis of the credit evolution in Nicaragua focusing on detecting the existence of credit boom during 1995-2014. Our results support the hypothesis of no credit boom during the period under study; instead, we find evidence in favor that credit is growing in line with the economic growth, therefore, credit boom may not be consider as an input to be included in the set of early warning indicators for financial crisis detection. El boom de crédito, definido como un exceso de crédito sobre su tendencia de largo plazo, es un fenómeno de importancia para la creación de indicadores de detección temprana de crisis financiera, que permitan evitarla o aminorar su impacto. En esta investigación se presenta un análisis de la evolución del crédito en Nicaragua enfocado en la detección de boom crediticio para el periodo 1995-2014. Los resultados indican que, durante el periodo en estudio no ha habido boom de crédito; en su lugar, el sostenido crecimiento del crédito está en línea con el crecimiento de la economía, de esto se destaca que para diseñar indicadores para la detección temprana de crisis financiera, se deben considerar factores distintos a los posibles excesos de crédito.
