Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Fergus Murphy:
In the marketplace? Yes. So, for example, in the 2002-2007 period, the residential book in EBS would have grown by 17.4% per annum, not quite the 30 per cents we were talking about earlier on but 17.4% per annum. From 2008-2011, during my tenure in EBS, the residential mortgage book grew by 2% per annum. So you've a substantive change in approach in tone from the top, in risk culture, risk containment and I think that one stat ... I could give many but maybe, Chairman, that one stat might hopefully illustrate the changes that I was looking to direct in terms of growth of balance sheet.
