Growth in business lending

The banks’ lending to Danish businesses has been increasing and has increased by 20.1 per cent over the past year to kr. 521.6 billion. However, this year-on-year growth rate has slowed slightly since Au-gust, when it peaked at a whopping 27.9 per cent. This is the highest year-on-year growth for bank lending to businesses in recent times. Before this, the highest measured growth rate was 26.6 per cent in July 2006.
