Milk Price Tracker

To anyone looking to borrow, is 0.1% BR an issue? Negative BR might happen, but its written in the small print that banks won't track it below 0%. So its kinda pointless.
You can now get a personal loan in Germany for €1000 and only have to pay back €995...
Ask for a million then. Feck it, 100 million.

I know crazy. The B of E currently has negative rates on review, and one of the things they would do is change the terms and conditions to allow negative rates.to be passed onto borrowers.

Exactly. Since 2007 crash they have had to keep more equity on board which has lead to lower lending and slower economic growth. This would only worsen with negative rates. The criteria for getting a loan will harden and risk will fall. No good will come of it. Europe has tried it and failed. Japan are the kings of it and now have massive government debt as they had to try and stimulate the economies when the banks basically gave up lending due to negative rates. Plus when negative rates are applied banks look elsewhere for revenue so O/D margins will rise Arrangement fees would rise etc etc
I believe the computer systems in some of the major banks won’t do negative rates, no one thought it necessary.

Currently got a proposal from our bank to add an extra bot and associated infastructure. Fixed a portion for 5yrs @1.8% ,10yrs @2.1%. negative rates won't make any difference to actual repayment rates
 
Fill in the DEFRA consultation on milk contracts. Let them know why the market is broken. If people don’t respond to it they will assume all is well in the dairy market.

There is a 7-8 ppl gap between the top and the bottom contracts, for what is essentially the same product (OK there a few more hoops to go through).
what hoops and how many ppl do these hoops cost to go through?
