Flexible finance will be available next month

SBCI low-cost loans

IFA President Eddie Downey last week welcomed access for the farming and agri-business sector, through the main banks, to the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland’s (SBCI) €400m low-cost loan fund.

He called for the loans to be flexible, easy to access, with lower interest rates than are currently available, and to cater for variable scales of investment on farms.
