THE former chief executive of Invest NI, who quit his role in December after just two years in charge “to focus on a new area” has been appointed chief commercial officer at Newry pharmaceutical giant Norbrook.

DANSKE Bank has declared that tens of millions of pounds in loans are no longer at risk from the Covid-19 pandemic in Northern Ireland.

CAMBRIDGE-educated Vicky Davies is to become the first female chief executive of Danske Bank in its 200-year history.

THE economic cycle is starting to turn in Northern Ireland, top banker Kevin Kingston believes.

BUSINESSES in the north are setting aside billions of pounds for a post-Covid spending splurge, the boss of the north's biggest bank says.

THE impact of Covid-19 contributed to an 85 per cent slump in profit at the north’s biggest lender in the first nine months of 2020.

DANSKE Bank is closing four more of its branches later this year as part of a further rationalisation.

DANSKE Bank said deposits during the Covid-19 lockdown surged by £1 billion as consumers in the north tightened their purse strings.

QUARTERLY pre-tax profits at the north’s biggest lender is down by 94 per cent in the first three months of year as a result of coronavirus.

THE boss of the north's biggest bank believes the economy will endure short-term double-digit percentage contraction and will almost certainly tip into recession next year, while scores of small businesses will simply be unable to survive the coronavirus tsunami.
