Report: Bank loans to Hungarian companies at an eight-year low
Due to the shrinking economy, bank loans to Hungarian companies fell to an eight-year low in the first quarter, Bloomberg reported today.
The National Bank of Hungary (MNB) has been trying to reduce reliance on a two-year-old program which provides cheap loans to small- and medium-sized companies, Bloomberg added.
Forecasts for economic growth and three planned interest rate cuts may revive lending later this year, the report added.
