<\/p>\nCHART OF THE WEEK<\/b><\/p>\n
ECB data have confirmed a gradual rise in private sector Eurozone lending.<\/b> In the past twelve months, it has risen by almost EUR 200 billion. The improvement can be seen in both business and household lending and is visible across the Eurozone. <\/b>That said, in countries such as Spain the improvement is more a case of the contraction slowing down than an increase in lending.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
OUR ANALYSIS<\/b><\/p>\n
Survey data on credit standards indicate that the rise in lending is likely to continue<\/b>. This, combined with both brighter growth prospects and rising profits, could help to boost investment.<\/b><\/p>\n
