Nexus Phase

At the time, yes, the assessment in the financial stability reports was that it ... I mean I said in my opening statement ... it underestimated the interaction of the two shocks. The worldwide shock, which I think was unprecedented, and many have said not seen since 1930, you might even go back to the First World War, but that shock interacted with domestic vulnerabilities and that's what essentially caused the difficulty.
