    Allied Irish Bank (GB) comes top again in comprehensive UK banking survey 27th November 2000 Allied Irish Bank (GB) has today been named Best Business Bank for the fourth consecutive time in the Forum of Private Business’s (FPB) comprehensive survey into the strength of service offered by banks to private businesses. The FPB report, Private Businesses and Their Banks 2000, is a biennial survey of tens of thousands of British businesses and shows that Allied Irish Bank (GB) has maintained its No. 1 position over other major UK banks since 1994. Aidan McKeon, General Manager of Allied Irish Bank (GB) and Managing Director AIB Group (UK) p.l.c., commented: "While we are delighted to win this award for the fourth time, we are far from complacent. We continue to listen closely to our customers and to invest in the cornerstones of our business: recruiting, training and retaining quality people; building 'true’ business relationships; and ongoing commitment to maintaining short lines of decision making. At the same time, we are exploiting technology to make our service as customer- responsive and efficient as possible." Allied Irish Bank (GB), one of the forerunners in relationship banking, scores highest in the survey for knowledge and understanding. The bank also scored highly on efficiency, reliability and customer satisfaction. Mr. McKeon continued: "We recognise that business customers have particular needs and concerns and we are always striving to ensure that our customers receive a continually improved service. We shall look carefully at this survey and liaise with our customers to further strengthen our service."

  • The Economics of Mortgage Debt Relief During a Pandemic Edward Gaffney, Fergal Mccann and Johannes Stroebel Vol
    The economics of mortgage debt relief during a pandemic Edward Gaffney, Fergal McCann and Johannes Stroebel Vol. 2021, No. 6 The economics of mortgage debt relief during a pandemic Edward Gaffney, Fergal McCann and Johannes Stroebel1 July 2021 Abstract We discuss several features of the economic and institutional environment that are important for determining the design of household debt relief programs in response to aggregate economic shocks. For example, we describe how such program features should depend on the distribution of home equity in the population, the costs of participation to borrowers and lenders, as well as on whether the shocks are temporary or permanent in nature. We analyse the Irish response to the initial COVID-19 shock—which focussed on a broad extension of temporary payment breaks to mortgage borrowers—in light of these factors. Finally, we discuss potential features of adjusted mortgage contracts that may embed some of the benefits of the COVID-19 response in future events without the need for policymaker coordination. 1 Introduction The economic shock resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has caused exceptional levels of disruption around the world. With more than one year having passed since the onset of the pandemic in Ireland, the depth and uneven nature of the economic shock are now apparent. Although some sectors of the economy are experiencing no effects or even positive demand shocks, in other sectors—particularly in service sectors requiring face-to-face interaction with customers— businesses and their employees have faced on-off disruptions to their incomes, which in some cases risk becoming persistent as the public health situation evolves.
