This represents ani increase of 34 per cent in number and 47 per cent in amount of boanfs in 1974 over 1973. At the fiscal year end, September 3th last, the bank had $267,239,000 out- standing or committed in boans to 6,134 businesses in the prôvince, according to the 1974 annual report of the bank issued today.

At the close of the fiscal year, the bank had $1,132 million out- standing or committed in loans to 23,550 Canadian enterprises. Durîng its 30 year history IDB has authorized over 55,000 boans for a total amount of $2,600 million to assist more than 40,000 busi- nesses. In its 1974 fiscal year, IDB received in exces s of 30,000 enquiries from businessmen across the country. Over one, third of them resulted in applications for boans and about 82 pêr cent of the applications resulted in auth- orized lbans.
