Perpetual concerned over Treasury & RBNZ comments about Mascot

Posted in News

Mascot Finance's Trustee, Perpetual Trust, released a statement late on Friday afternoon saying it was concerned about what Treasury and the Reserve Bank were saying about information they received from Perpetual as part of Mascot's application to the deposit guarantee scheme.

Both Treasury and the Reserve Bank declined to comment on the release, and neither acknowledged making comments about Mascot. Interest .co.nz has been unable to contact Perpetual CEO Louise Edwards about the release.

Mascot was the first guaranteed financial institution to fail after being granted the Crown guarantee when it was put into receivership earlier this week.

Here is the release from Perpetual Trust:

Perpetual Trust has written to the Treasury and the Reserve Bank to outline its concerns about what the Treasury and the Reserve Bank are saying about the information they received from the trustee as part of Mascot Finance Limited's application to join the government's Deposit Guarantee Scheme.

Perpetual Trust is confident that all relevant information about Mascot's financial position was fully disclosed to the Reserve Bank in December by the trustee and is not responsible for the judgments made by the Reserve Bank and Treasury on that information.

Perpetual Trust does not have any further comment to make at this stage.

I think I just found

I think I just found out what I am looking for after spending a lot time surfing the net.The warm feeling I get when someone is thoughtful enough to say thank you for having been helped far outweighs the empty one I get when there's no feedback at all.I am very happy to post my comment in this blog. I gathered lot of information from this site. Nice blog.

The arrogance and the irony

The arrogance and the irony of it - we want the public to be liable but we don't want the public to be knowledgable.
