I am informed by the Financial Regulator that AIB is the covered institution with the most significant exposure, at 6.2% of total loans, to central and eastern Europe. This is because it is the only domestic institution with a direct interest in banks in the region. I am also informed that the other covered institutions have minimal exposure, at less than 1% of total loans, in the listed countries.
