Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Tony Grimes:
It's becoming closer but still, I think, very much in the liquidity sphere. For example, you'll recall that on 17 March 2008 there was a major issue with regard to the share price of one bank. But, I mean ... and that led ... or that was part of a worldwide decline, I think, in bank share prices. But it was a very serious issue. Again, I think some of the pressures eased to some extent after that but that was the context. Certainly, from then on, a heightened, you know, awareness of the possibility of some systemic issue became apparent.
