Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion
9:30 am
Ms Anne Marie McKiernan:
I acknowledge that. However, at the moment there is not sufficiently differentiated activity across the business model to justify introducing a whole risk rating approach. The key issue is how credit unions can increase their lending in a responsible way, turn their excess of savings into responsible lending opportunities and grow their income and loan book accordingly, and to have a loss-absorbing layer through the reserve ratio to deal with that.
