According to CoinMeta, Lienen, the Chief Economist of the European Central Bank, stated in an interview with The Financial Times that currently, financing from artificial intelligence (AI) 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, the scale of credit creation in the 21 member states of the eurozone has still shown resilience beyond expectations. Lienen pointed out that without the financing needs in the AI sector, the annual growth rate of corporate loans would only be 3%, rather than the current 4%. He emphasized that compared to relying on debt financing, he would prefer to see more equity financing for companies, so that native AI enterprises can develop more rapidly.
