I am sorry for probing this but I have a concern about this. I understand the macrofinancial implications and have a view on it. Where a company is funding projects in the State from outside it, does the Central Bank have the reach to determine if it can sustain any financial blips as it develops its projects or is it the case that this sector, in forestry and housing, is open to an extra vulnerability because the Central Bank cannot apply sufficient oversight to them?
