Annual Report Annual Report & Accounts 2008 Caring for the environment At Anglo Irish Bank, we take a responsible approach to environmental issues and have worked with our print partner to minimise the environmental impact of our Annual Report publication. The paper selected for this report comes from certified well managed forests, accredited by the PEFC to a standard known as Chain of Custody. These certified forests are managed to ensure long term timber supplies while protecting the environment and the lives of the forest dependent people. The Annual Report is a CarbonNeutral® publication. This was achieved by selecting a print partner who is already CarbonNeutral® and by offsetting the lifecycle emissions of the paper that was used in the Annual Report. Anglo Irish Bank is pleased to be able to add both the CarbonNeutral® and the PEFC logos as evidence of achieving these standards. ® p ublication Anglo Irish Bank Annual Report & Accounts 2008 Financial performance 2008 2007 Profit before taxation (€m) 784 1,243 Earnings per share (cent) 88.4 134.7 Cost to income ratio 17% 22% Customer lending (€m)* 73,157 67,076 Total assets (€m) 101,321 96,652 Core Tier 1 capital (€m) 5,068 4,445 * Including lending associated with our assurance company Contents Letter from the Executive Chairman 02 Statement of recognised income 35 Business review 06 and expense Board of Directors 12 Cash flow statement 36 Corporate Responsibility 14 Notes to the financial statements 38 Principal risks and uncertainties 20 Consolidated income statement 160 (USD, GBP) Report of the Directors 22 Consolidated balance sheet 161 Statement of Directors’ responsibilities 24 (USD, GBP) Corporate governance statement 25 Schedule to the Report of the Directors 162 Independent Auditors’ report 30 Consolidated income statement 32 Consolidated balance sheet 33 Bank balance sheet 34 01 Letter from the Executive Chairman Donal O'Connor Executive Chairman I was appointed Chairman of the Board on 18 December 2008 by an independent assessor appointed by the Minister for following the resignation of Sean FitzPatrick.

  • Crisis and Change in Ireland (ARI)
    Area: Europa ARI 79/2011 Date: 28/4/2011 Crisis and Change in Ireland (ARI) Raj Chari* Theme1: The 2011 Irish election must be placed in the context of both the economic and the political crisis that preceded the vote in order to examine its results and consider Ireland’s future in Europe. Summary: After years of economic growth during the ‘Celtic Tiger’ boom, Ireland fell into economic decline as a result of its financial crisis in 2008. Ireland’s fall can best be understood as home-made, fuelled by speculation and lax regulation of the financial sector. In the context of this economic and financial crisis, Ireland then suffered a political crisis in which the Fianna Fáil (FF) government coalition lost legitimacy, prompting an early election on 25 February 2011. Unsurprisingly perhaps, a new coalition government comprised of Fine Gael (FG) and Labour came into being as a result. A major issue to be addressed by the new government relates to the renegotiation of the interest rates on the EU/IMF bailout agreed in December 2010. However, what remains unclear is how much this new government’s hands are already tied and whether or not the EU seeks to renegotiate the terms of the deal. Analysis: The Economic and Political Context For almost a decade before 2008, the ‘Celtic Tiger’ gained the attention of the world: after being a laggard in the EU economy throughout much of the 70s and 80s, from the late 90s Ireland was one of the fastest-growing EU economies and represented a model for growth.

  • Irish Economy Note No. 13 “Did the ECB Cause a Run on Irish Banks
    Irish Economy Note No. 13 “Did the ECB Cause a Run on Irish Banks? Evidence from Disaggregated Data” Gary O’Callaghan Dubrovnik International University February 2011 www.irisheconomy.ie/Notes/IrishEconomyNote13.pdf Did the ECB Cause a Run on Irish Banks? Evidence from the Disaggregated Data. Gary O’Callaghan Dubrovnik International University February 2011 The paper closely examines events leading up to the Irish crisis of November 2010. It traces the effects of these events on both the onshore banking sector and on an offshore sector that is almost as large but is very different in terms of structure and commitment. Both sectors benefit from liquidity support by the European Central Bank (ECB) but the offshore sector does not benefit from a Government guarantee on deposits and securities and no bank in this category would expect to be recapitalised by the Irish Government in the event of its insolvency. Therefore, by examining the effects of certain events on deposits in each sector, one can distinguish between a crisis of confidence in monetary support (that would apply to both sectors) and an erosion of credibility in fiscal policy (that would apply to domestic banks only). The paper suggests that a systemic run on Irish banks was the proximate cause of the November crisis (even if a financing package might have been needed anyway) and that it probably resulted from public musings by ECB Council members on the need to curtail liquidity support to banks. An ECB commitment in May to support government bonds had undermined its ability to reign in monetary policy and left it searching for an exit.

  • Journalism, Politics and the Celtic Tiger Journalists
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DCU Online Research Access Service Chapter 8 Declan Fahy A limited focus? Journalism, politics and the Celtic Tiger Journalists dominated the 2009 end-of-year bestseller lists with books castigating Ireland’s financial and political elites for causing the financial crisis that would eventually claim the country’s economic sovereignty. In The Bankers Shane Ross criticised bank executives and regulators for their close relationship that facilitated years of reckless property speculation, while in Who really runs Ireland? Matt Cooper laid out the elite nexus of bankers, developers, politicians and media owners that he argued allowed a thriving economy to overheat. In Ship of Fools, Fintan O’Toole traced the entwined Irish histories of economic mismanagement, political corruption and financial fraud that combined so disastrously in the crisis. In Follow the Money, David McWilliams described a panicked Irish government amid the 2008 global financial meltdown, as then finance minister Brian Lenihan, eating garlic to stay awake, paid a late-night visit to the columnist’s house for advice. In Anglo Republic, Simon Carswell forensically examined the succession of high-risk financial decisions by Anglo Irish Bank executives that forced the government to guarantee bank debts and deposits. These books unflinchingly laid out the national systemic political and financial failure that found apt symbolism, among international media, in the half-finished ‘ghost estates’ that littered the Irish countryside. 190 These post-crash books were cutting and critical. But such comprehensive analyses, commentators noted, were mostly absent during the boom years, from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s, when Ireland’s economy expanded with unprecedented growth.

  • ELA, Promissory Notes and All That: the Fiscal Costs of Anglo Irish Bank
    ELA, Promissory Notes and All That: The Fiscal Costs of Anglo Irish Bank Karl Whelan University College Dublin Revised Draft, September 2012 Abstract: This paper describes the cost to the Irish state of its bailout of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC). The paper discusses the IBRC’s balance sheet, its ELA debts to the Central Bank of Ireland and the promissory notes provided to it by the Irish government to pay off its liabilities. Options for reducing these costs are discussed. 1. Introduction The Irish state has committed an extraordinary €64 billion—about 40 percent of GDP—towards bailing out its banking sector. €30 billion of this commitment has gone towards acquiring almost complete ownership of Allied Irish Banks and Irish Life and Permanent and partial ownership of Bank of Ireland. 1 It is possible that some fraction of this outlay may be recouped at some point in the future via sales of these shares to the private sector. In contrast, the remaining €35 billion that relates to Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC), the entity that has merged Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide Building Society, is almost all “dead money” that will never be returned to the state. Much of the commentary on Ireland’s bank bailout has focused on the idea that the Irish government should change its policy in relation to payment of unsecured IBRC bondholders. However, the amount of IBRC bondholders remaining is small when compared with the total cost of bailing out these institutions. Instead, the major debt burden due to the IBRC relates to promissory notes provided to it by the Irish government, which in turn are largely being used to pay off so-called Exceptional Liquidity Assistance (ELA) loans that have been provided by the Central Bank of Ireland.
