FRANKFURT, Oct 25 - Bank lending across the euro zone came to a near standstill last month, European Central Bank data showed on Wednesday, providing further evidence that the 20-nation bloc was skirting a recession.
Lending to businesses expanded by just 0.2% in September, the lowest figure since late 2015 when the bloc was just emerging from its debt crisis, and down from 0.7% a month earlier. Lending is taking a hit after a string of interest rate hikes took the ECB's key rate to a record high 4% last month, all in the hope this would depress activity enough for inflation to return to 2%.
