November 07, 2024 Rural Banking Inquiry
041 | The rural banking inquiry, we have all heard about it but were we really aware of how necessary it was! We certainly weren't form Reserve bank policy settings to the actual banks themselves and even as farmers how we handle the situation. And overhaul is well called for. Thanks to the team at NZAB (not sponsored, just really liked their info) for putting together such thorough, informative information on this and providing a voice for the sector at the beehive!
