Minister for Finance

Neither I nor the Special Liquidators of IBRC are in a position to comment on the intentions or subsequent actions of third party purchasers (or the safeguards they have employed) once they have purchased loan assets from IBRC. Furthermore, I have no legal basis to place restrictions on any business or employment interests of former employees or directors of IBRC.
