Gabriel Makhlouf signals no change in home loan rules

The new governor of the Central Bank has signalled there will be little to no change when the bank completes the review of its own mortgage lending rules.

Gabriel Makhlouf used an expansive speech to students at Waterford Institute of Technology to outline the role the regulator plays in identifying the risks facing the Irish economy from Brexit, global trade, and climate change. Building the “resilience” of the banking system and households to respond to any new “tumult” was key, he said.
