For ‘homes and forms

Home: loans and farm
lending are exceptionally
strong areas of banking
activity in British Columbia,
according to J. Allan Boyle,
‘president of the Canadian .
Bankers’ Association.

“Both these categories are
up about 30 per cent and the
underlying pattern of credit
demand in the province is
generally strong over-all,”

Mr. Boyle said.

‘The review of 1975 bank-
ing trends in British Colum-’.

figures, was issued in con-

tion’s annual meeting — in
Ottawa. _

Mr. Boyle, also executive
vice-president and chief ge-
neral manager, Toronto Do-
minion Bank, said the banks’
outstanding mortgage loans

in the province passed the . .

$1.5 billion mark at the 1975
year-end.

‘““This .was an increase of.

more than 28 per cent from
$1.19 billion at the end of
1974 and represented about
20 per cent of the. chartered
banks’ total home | lending
across the country.”
