Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Professor William Black:

There is no such thing. It depends on the growth of the economy. The more sensible answer is to look at the real growth of the economy and the relevant sectors being loaned to. If you are greatly out of line with that and if you did so by lending cheap relative to risk, then you are a disaster waiting to happen. Actually, you are a disaster that has happened that needs a solution immediately.
