Israeli Bond Programme: Discussion (Resumed)

Alice-Mary Higgins (Independent)
The Central Bank decided that it did not have the basis to refuse. Can I just confirm? I want to get the facts clear. The Central Bank could have said yes or no, but then we go to the basis on which it decided to do so or not do so. If the Central Bank had said no, if Ireland had denied approval for the transfer of approval, is it not the case that it could not have happened and Israel would not have been able to have its bonds issued for 2025 by the Luxembourg authority?
