We continue to operate within the framework of our values to strengthen our franchise. Maintaining high standards of governance, deepening coverage and enhancing delivery capabilities with a focus on simplicity and operational resilience are key drivers for a risk calibrated profitable growth.
I think the corporate sector is pretty strong and they are well funded with healthy balance sheets and significant resilience I would say.
We don't at the moment see any cause for concern as such. The other portfolio which is reasonably large now and has grown rapidly over the last few years is the whole business banking portfolio. Again one would have to monitor any potential impact of the external events on that.
