Why Eurozone Banks Are Lending More While Cutting Rates
In June 2026, Eurozone bank lending to businesses is growing at its fastest pace in three years, even as the ECB cuts its deposit rate. Lucas and Luna unpack the paradox: why lower rates are actually widening bank margins, how Southern European banks are leading the charge, and what this means for the economy. With the ECB's rate at 3.25% and lending up 4.2% year-over-year, they explore the shifting dynamics of credit, deposits, and profitability. A focused look at one of the most encouraging signs for Eurozone growth.
