Abstract
Global financial markets have suffered a serious impact from the financial
crisis and economic recession. Only a few banks have escaped unscathed as the
retail banking industry continues to adjust to shifts in the global financial
and economic environment. The impact of these changes will drastically alter
the retail banking landscape, with updated and coordinated international
regulation, higher risk, capital shortages and a potential legislative
separation of the retail and investment banking sectors. ' The Outlook for
Retail Banking in Europe and the US' is a new report published by Business
Insights that examines the impact of the financial crisis on the retail
banking market in Europe and the US. It analyzes the current state of the
sector, with an in-depth evaluation of the retail banking industry. Leading
retail banks are assessed and ranked based on a variety of factors to compare
performance, with key factors contributing to risk profiles and performance
potential also provided. The report examines the influence of government
intervention and explores the potential impact of future legislation upon the
industry. It identifies the future implications for the retail banking market
in Europe and the US in the next year and assesses emerging business models
and corporate strategies for the future.
