A rate of 4.5% for customers is just too high. I ask the Governor to continue to look at that in his new role and to see how it can be addressed to give a break to customers and mortgage holders. I have several questions but one leads on from my earlier points. With regard to those interest-only products and non-performing loans, I am concerned about the number of mortgages classed as non-performing loans that are sold on and then sold on again.

Apart from the criteria of the non-performing loans, does the Central Bank measure the journey of a loan in how many times loans are bundled and sold on from one vulture fund to another?
