Bidifood (BLT) stopped paying the remaining 140.5% of its 2022 dividend after paying 30%, citing capital difficulties.

- Survey on the Access to Finance of Enterprises: lending conditions tightened
The ECB's 40th round of the Survey on the Access to Finance of Enterprises (SAFE), conducted between 26 August and 2 October 2026, found firms reported a further net increase in bank loan interest rates, at 46% versus 42% in the previous quarter. Large firms reported increases more often (net 55%) than SMEs (net 38%). Bank loan availability fell by a net 5%, more than the net 2% decline in firms' loan needs, leaving the financing gap indicator at a net 2% compared with 3% previously.
