The European Commission has approved the establishment of the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA), the State toxic property loans relief scheme for financial institutions in Ireland. The Commission says it is satisfied that the scheme is in line with its guidelines on impaired asset relief for banks that allow State aid to remedy a serious disturbance in a Member State’s economy. The scheme will help address the issue of asset quality in the Irish banking system and promote the return to a normally functioning financial market.
