Bank holiday poses an obstacle again

As with agricultural oil, which was paid a day late due to the Catholic Easter holiday, another such hurdle is emerging in the upcoming Holy Week payments. Some banks have already sent letters to their customers informing them that due to the Easter holiday and the relocation of the Labor Day holiday, debt payments and deposits that would have been recorded from Maundy Thursday, May 2, will be carried out on Wednesday, May 8. It is considered the next business day. This means that any payments to farmers must start on Tuesday 30 April, so they have two days before the banks will see the money, especially if it is not at Piraeus Bank, so that all farmers can withdraw the money before the Easter holidays.
