Written answers

Minister for Finance

The Central Bank publishes details about its total investment asset holdings in its annual report, which is available on its website. However, the Bank has informed me that it does not publish a breakdown of assets by jurisdiction, nor specify the jurisdiction of assets which it acquired or disposed during the year.
