Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Gary McGann:
Well, I think the concept of interest roll-up is inherent in some of the products that were basically being dealt in. Development lending obviously has a long lead time to income. So interest roll-up as part of that deal is not an unusual concept. And obviously the trade-off or the ... the ... underpinned to that needs to be, obviously, quality collateralisation and experienced developers and so on. But the principle of interest roll-up of itself is not necessarily a failure on the original loan but, rather, part of it.
