Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with Permanent TSB

10:30 am

Mr. Jeremy Masding:

With all due respect, I am the chief executive of the organisation. We decide what treatments we have put in place. We are very careful about interest-only and, consequently, interest-only on home loans has a very clear set of controls. Broadly speaking, long-term interest-only on home loans is not a treatment of which we are in favour. In respect of buy-to-let, it is not someone's primary residence. We have a model we use - to which I would prefer not to share the commercial inputs - but we take a view on asset inflation, on rental available and on rental yield growth. Therefore, it is pretty clear that we have an understanding with the customer that at some point in time, we expect the capital back through the disposal of the property.
