Banking Sector: Quarterly Engagement with the Central Bank

Mr. Ed Sibley:
There is no 5% target. The figure came from the fact that at a certain point in time it was the eurozone average for non-performing loans. There has been a supervisory drive to bring down non-performing loans for a variety of reasons, on which the Governor has touched. The eurozone average now is around 3.5%.
