Banking Banana Skins 2006 

The CSFI's annual survey of the risks facing banks

Jun 2006
     
The Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation (CSFI) has recently completed its 11th Banana Skins survey of leading members of the finance industry to find out their concerns about the soundness of the financial markets.
 
The survey, sponsored by PricewaterhouseCoopers, puts together a league table identifying potential sources of risks to banks and ranks them by severity.  This year's survey is based on a record 468 responses in 60 countries.
 
The poll of top financial practitioners, regulators and analysts is dominated by the concerns around over-regulation for the second year running.  Fast-rising risks this year also include concerns about commodities, interest rates, emerging markets and equity markets.

Copies of the report can be purchased from the CSFI on +[44] (20) 7493 0173 or from CSFI's online store.  Visit CSFI's website for more information.
