I propose to answer Questions Nos. 228 and 229 together.

I have been advised that it is not the Bank’s practice to disclose the specific information requested as it is commercially sensitive. It is however the Bank’s clear preference to work constructively with its borrowers on a case by case basis to maximise the recovery of loans. Any proposed restructuring of debt facilities in IBRC is subject to established governance processes and any agreed restructuring of borrowers obligations are designed to ensure the best outcome for the State.
