- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion with Bank of Ireland (1 Nov 2012)
Peter Mathews: Looking at the overview of the bank, it has a balance sheet is €155 billion and also has life assurance assets and liabilities, but perhaps those could be parked to one side when looking at the banking element of the bank. With regard to liabilities, how much is included on that balance sheet of 30 June as advances from the ECB or from the Central Bank of Ireland under emergency...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion with Bank of Ireland (1 Nov 2012)
Peter Mathews: I am referring to the "other information" extracts from the balance sheet of the bank, page 104 - the lead sheet from that. With regard to assets, those available for sale, financial assets and NAMA senior bonds, the indicative rate of interest return on these is 3.1%. How does this arise when, currently, three-month LIBOR - London Inter-Bank Offered Rate - is 0.6%, which is the coupon...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion with Bank of Ireland (1 Nov 2012)
Peter Mathews: At the capitalisation in July 2011, the amount of money that came in recapitalisation from the markets was a little over €1 billion - from Wilbur Ross, Fairfax, Kennedy Partners and so on and the State invested approximately €1.5 billion. The fact is the bank is still hugely overdependent on capitalisation. Its loan to deposit ratio is approximately 136% and its financial...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion with Bank of Ireland (1 Nov 2012)
Peter Mathews: That is not near enough, because the bank's balance sheet is still highly vulnerable. The bank has €7 billion in provisions against a loan book of €80 billion - about 8.7%. Considering this is all in mortgages and property and construction related lending, that is probably very light provision.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion with Bank of Ireland (1 Nov 2012)
Peter Mathews: Personally speaking, those ratios are not a straightforward and robust way of looking at things. We should look at the maturity of the assets and at how easily they may be collected on. As mentioned, many of them are 35-year assets. The likelihood is that the borrowers are not in a position, based on their current, prospective and sustainable earnings, to repay their loans, whether...
