Description
Launched a set of measures aimed at expanding financing for the agriculture sector. Interventions would focus on: i) stimulating the provision of production loans by the private sector; ii) reducing interest rates via better guarantees for lending institutions; and iii) enhancing competition across rural credit operations. The new policies would include the equalization of interest rates between lending institutes and the possibility of issuing securities in foreign currency.
