I am encouraged by Mr. Boucher's comment regarding the agricultural sector. This is a good example of sectoral lending. The abolition of the milk quota will present opportunities for farmers to expand their herds and so on and access to credit will be an issue for them. Is the bank considering this? The Government's national jobs strategy refers to emerging sectors where jobs can be created. How in tune is the bank with that to look forward to where opportunities will be created and having targets for lending into these areas?
