Banking Banana Skins 2012 |
Every two years, PwC sponsors the Banking Banana Skins
survey conducted by the Centre of the Study of Financial
Innovation. Each survey identifies potential sources of
risks to banks and then ranks them by severity. Also
included are industry members' views about the risks
they face, the soundness of financial markets, and other
pressing issues. Based on over 700 responses from 58
countries, the survey, aimed at senior executives in the
banking industry, identifies high level issues where the
banking industry may be vulnerable. It seems that the
economic uncertainty continues to resonate most, with
macro-economic risk rising to the top of the list of
boardroom concerns. The fragile confidence in the sector
is further underlined by presence of credit risk,
liquidity and capital availability in the top four. 2012 |
