Summary Box: Eurozone business credit growth slows
CREDIT FLOW SLOWS: The European Central Bank says the flow of credit to businesses slowed in February, a sign that the bank's massive loans to the financial system have yet to spur a fragile eurozone economy.
THE DETAILS: Loans to nonfinancial corporations fell by €3 billion ($4 billion) in February compared with January after increasing by only €1 billion in the first month of the year.
THE OUTLOOK: A key member of the bank's governing council, Jens Weidmann of German's Bundesbank, warned again about the risks involved in the €1 trillion ($1.33 trillion) two-stage action that flooded the banking industry with cheap three-year loans.
