Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Overview of the Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Ulster Bank

2:00 pm

Mr. Jim Brown:

There is a difference. What we are saying is that because we operate Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland and we also operate in the rest of Great Britain, we can say to the committee that, based on our experiences in those markets - we operate in all of them - the amount of capital that we have to deploy against each mortgage that we issue is higher in terms of risk-weighted assets.
