Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Overview of Economy and Funding Requirements: Discussion with NTMA

3:25 pm

Mr. John Corrigan:

I said we were targeting raising €10 billion this year which, other things being equal, would give us one year's worth of funding going into 2014. I noted that the figure of €10 billion could be a moveable feast, depending for example on what contingent credit lines were available. There could be scope for reducing it but that is the working plan. We need to have a figure and people ask us what it is. It could be less than that but I do not see us holding materially more than €20 billion or €19 billion in cash, which is what we had at the beginning of the year.
