	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2017 answer text <p>The government established an independent Financial Policy Committee (FPC) and gave the FPC a primary objective to identify, monitor and take action to remove or reduce systemic risks with a view to protecting and enhancing financial stability. The FPC’s June 2017 Financial Stability Report (FSR), assesses recent trends in the consumer credit market, including dealership car finance and personal contract purchase (PCP) agreements.
