AIB may seek further loan book sales

AIB has hinted that it could undertake further loan book sales in a bid to bring the percentage of non-performing loans on its books to within the European average.

The bank's chief executive designate Colin Hunt also said management will not be making a fresh appeal to Government to relax banking remuneration rules at its agm near the end of April. He also refused to comment on the bank's future mortgage interest rate policy.
