I did indeed. The incoming Governor of the Central Bank has now been appointed. He was appointed when the Government made its recommendation to the President and the President then acted on that recommendation. The Government's recommendation was made on the back of my recommendation which itself followed an independent and thorough process that yielded a single name at its conclusion. That was Mr. Makhlouf. I am not going to comment on an inquiry under way in another jurisdiction. I do not believe it would be appropriate. That inquiry is under way and the authorities in New Zealand have outlined what that process is and the date by which it is aimed to be finished.
