Public Accounts Committee

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

3:00 pm

Mr. Matthew Elderfield:

The rate of increase is slowing down. The economists we talk to about this say one has a time lag after unemployment peaks and that one would expect it to tail off, but I cannot make a prediction as to exactly what is going to happen in the future. What I can say is we have set very strong targets for the banks. We are very serious about that and they have said to us they are serious about hitting those targets.
