The comments made are apt and to the point. As a matter of public policy the new legislation should consider including the operations and internal transparencies of the Central Bank in the Ombudsman's remit. Issues may arise in respect of the Central Bank's work that expand beyond consumer protection, for example, investment clients of banks are in a grey area between consumer and commercial customer. Some agency should be able to do the root canal work under public policy to understand what has happened in a given case.
