[ECB Chief Economist: AI Financing Contributes 25% to Corporate Loan Growth] According to DeepFlow TechFlow, on November 13th, European Central Bank Chief Economist Lane stated in an interview with the Financial Times on Friday that artificial intelligence (AI) financing currently accounts for about a quarter of the growth in corporate bank loans in the Eurozone. Despite rising interest rates and the negative impact of oil price shocks, credit creation in the 21 Eurozone member states has shown greater resilience than expected. Lian stated that without the financing needs in the AI sector, the annual growth rate of corporate loans would only be 3%, instead of the current 4%, although the overall share of the AI industry in the European economy is still relatively small. Lane said, "About a quarter of this year's credit growth came from the AI sector, although these AI industries do not account for a quarter of the overall economy." He reiterated that he would prefer to see companies obtain more equity financing rather than relying on debt financing, so that native AI companies can develop more quickly. (Jinshi)
