IRISH PRIVATE BANK LENDING, 1989 - 1994
May 10th, 2012 by Conor McCabe
Not the only source of credit/growth in the Irish economy during this time, but still an interesting statistic showing that growth in Irish private bank lending from 1989 to 1994 was dominated by personal loans (including mortgages) and financial intermediaries - there was actually a drop in private bank credit supplied to the manufacturing sector.
