COVID-19: UK industry focus - Where next for banking?
Most global banks are in a stronger position now than during the last financial crisis in 2008 - with up to five times more capital. Agreements not to pay dividends and bonuses have further fortified their position, allaying fears the pandemic could pose an existential risk to the UK’s major banks.
Nonetheless, responding to the challenges presented by COVID-19 will not be easy: even before the virus started to spread, banks were battling squeezed margins and lacklustre growth. The pandemic will exacerbate this as it hits the economy, increasing pressure on revenue as lending volumes and margins fall and credit losses mount.
Our experts discuss how banks must transform the size and composition of their cost bases.
“By concentrating on cost and being clear on their purpose, businesses can emerge from this new crisis leaner and even more focused.”
