Research and analysis highlights
Q3 2009 marks the first anniversary of the beginning of the meltdown within
Europe' s retail banking sector. Twelve months on, while institutions across
the region have largely regained operational stability, uncertainty remains
over future changes to supranational and national banking (and competition)
regulations.
Asset disposals remain a very real prospect, as banks seek ways to further
trim costs and concentrate in core country markets and products.
