Dublin pushed as ‘non-bank lending hub’

The Department of Finance is spearheading efforts to make Dublin a financial services hub for non-bank lending across the eurozone.

If successful, the move could create thousands of well-paid front office jobs and play a key role in the development of the eurozone’s economy.

“Ireland is taking a lead roll in the area of non-bank financing and we have prioritised this issue as part of the Irish presidency,” said a Department of Finance spokesperson.
