The Thomson Reuters/PayNet Small Business Lending Index rose to 120.4 in October, its highest level since August 2007. This is generally seen as a positive leading indicator for the U.S. economy, as small businesses step up their borrowing to handle growth in orders. Supporting this trend, PayNet also reports that delinquencies as a percent of loans set a record low in October.
