PARIS (Reuters) – The growth of loans to non-financial companies in the euro zone remained stable in February at an annual rate of 4.4%, according to data published on Friday by the European Central Bank (ECB).
The annual growth rate of M3 money supply, which mainly reflects the ECB’s bond purchases, declined slightly to 6.3% in February from 6.4% in January, exactly in line with Reuters consensus estimates.
Finally, loans to households rose slightly by 4.4% year on year in February, against 4.3% in January, again according to ECB data.
