When do the witnesses expect a decision to be made to not just engage with the credit unions, but to assist them with putting their €18.5 billion in assets into play in order to support businesses in their areas? They have a methodology for assessing and dealing with loans and they know their customers. There has been a great deal of talk about supporting micro-enterprises. Using the credit union movement is one sure way of getting money into the local economy. Do the witnesses have any idea when a decision will be made in that regard or when engagement might commence?
