Westpac's new chief Peter King on rising jobless - not all borrowers will survive coronavirus emergency

Westpac's newly-appointed chief executive Peter King has warned the risk of spiralling unemployment means not all borrowers will survive the coronavirus emergency.

The Westpac veteran says more than a hundred thousand people are being helped to manage their repayments during the crisis amid expectations of a recession and a jobless rate of ten percent. 

Mr King replaces Brian Hartzer who resigned after last year's money laundering scandal - and he spoke with ABC's Peter Ryan.
