Report on Local Public Banking: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Ed Sibley:
We are certainly open to this and we can see that there is legitimacy in the concerns that have been raised on access to financing for SMEs. We do not have a position as such. If a public bank sought authorisation, then we would look at it on its own merits and subject to the four areas that I outlined. I would have no issue with authorising such an application.
