This debt burden will still have to be serviced should these developments materialise. Conclusion The Central Bank is contributing to the stability of the financial system in four key ways. First, our approach is to encourage behaviour on the part of lenders and borrowers that takes account of future risks by raising awareness of financial stability matters.
Second, we maintain a dialogue with the domestic credit institutions in order to highlight issues for the financial system; in accordance with past practice we will arrange a round-table meeting to discuss the Financial Stability Report. Third, the Bank works in close co-operation with the Financial Regulator to help maintain financial stability in Ireland.
