Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Tony Grimes:

Senator, I think it's a matter, you know, of legal interpretation here. The understanding on the Central Bank's side was that if ever a guidance had to be used, it would be expressed in very general terms but it would also be expressed in terms specific enough to leave it clear to the regulator what type of intervention would be required on their part to address the concern conveyed.
