Written answers

Minister for Finance

I am advised by NAMA that it estimates that €734m of the €3.5 billion loan nominal acquired by NAMA for nil consideration were secured by Property. Of the loans secured by property NAMA estimates that €425m was secured by land and development and €309m was secured by investment properties. The balance of the loans of €2.8 billion were unsecured or secured against assets other than property assets.  Assets other than property assets against which loans of €2.8 billion were granted where NAMA paid nil consideration included shares or other investments and equity releases where the security had no value at time of acquisition. NAMA acquired in excess of €55 billion of par debt connected to the 322 borrowers.
