Rentenbank awards more promotional loans for agribusiness and rural development - wind power remains sluggish

Frankfurt. 2018 saw Rentenbank’s new promotional business drop when compared with the prior-year level. The main reason for this was a sharp decline in wind power financing resulting from a change to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). New business was virtually stable in the Agriculture promotional line, while it rose in the Agribusiness and Rural Development promotional lines. The Management Board of Germany’s development agency for agribusiness and rural areas was pleased with the results overall. ‘The 2018 business year has shown that Rentenbank’s promotional loans continue to be attractive for all types of investment in agriculture and rural areas,’ underlined Horst Reinhardt, Chairman of the Management Board at Rentenbank.

The decline could only partially be compensated for by growth in the Agribusiness and Rural Development promotional lines. New business in the Agriculture promotional line remained largely stable. Overall, new business with special promotional loans from Germany's development agency for agribusiness and rural areas dropped to a total of EUR 6.7 billion (2017: EUR 7.4 billion).
