RBNZ's Bollard says he expects banks to successfully issue into term debt market

Posted in News

Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Alan Bollard has said after returning from a roadshow promoting NZ Inc that he expected banks here would be able to successfully raise money in the term debt market using wholesale government guarantees.

"The signs are pretty good, but each bank has got to decide if and when it wants to do that, and in general liquidity positions are pretty secure around the banks," Bollard told journalists in Wellington.

"The signs we got were pretty good, but it's in a very unstable world," he said when asked if he thought the banks would be able to sell the guaranteed debt to international investors.
