Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 72 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Regulator (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Mr. Matthew Elderfield:

I personally do not think so. It makes sense to align the methodology as much as possible with what is happening in Europe and to do it on a consistent basis. It does not make sense to have to do an Irish stress test exercise and immediately after to have to do an asset quality review and then another stress test. I was very comfortable with changing it to a more phased approach. I think we will have a bit more experience under our belt on the mortgage arrears and the insolvency legislation. Having to do two exercises would not be wise.
