And then to quote that paragraph 3:

Once an institution is insolvent the Central Bank cannot provide [emergency liquidity assistance] to the institution. In order for the institution to be assisted [Central Bank] would require ... some form of guarantee from the Government eg a letter of comfort. This would allow the [Central Bank] to treat the institution as illiquid, but solvent.

So, can I ask you to maybe comment on that? What's this all about?
