Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland: Financial Statements 2019
9:30 am
Mr. Ian Black:
KfW was a funder to the SBCI at the start. It provided funding, which was provided initially to the banks and then to the non-banks. During 2018, that facility was repaid. There was cheaper funding from other parties and it was not required. We still have a relationship with KfW so, if required, we can go back to KfW. We have funding lines in place with the European Investment Bank, EIB, the Council of Europe Development Bank, the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund and the NTMA. That is purely from a cost point of view, but the relationship with KfW still exists.
