Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Cyril Roux:

Yes, I would say so. We have more specialist expertise. It's better staffed ... what is lacking is just lengths of experience. So, you know, just the distribution of experience is such that our staff are mostly junior staff and we can't keep them. So, when you compare our staff to the staff that is available in other, in other supervisory authorities, they are younger, they have less experience. We don't have as many people with five to ten years' experience but to have these people, you need to pay them. You need to able to have a career progression and a pay progression and at present, we can't do that.
