La forte croissance des prets de la CECA, a la siderurgie et a la reconversion industrielle, a plus que compense le declin de ceux du NIC lie a la quasi-utilisation du NIC III. Pour ce dernier toutefois, les prets au secteur productif qui representaient en 1984 67% de son activite en atteignent desormais pres des trois quarts.
The sharp growth in ECSC lending to the steel industry and for industrial conversion projects outweighed the contraction in NCI loans stemming from the virtual exhausion of NCI III resources. However as a proportion of total NCI lendings, loans to the productive sector rose from 67% in 1984 to close on three quarters in 1985.
