New Market Study Published: United Kingdom Commercial Banking Report Q2 2012

PRLog (Press Release) - May 4, 2012 - The UK banking sector remains in a tight spot as weak domestic economic activity and the  eurozone debt crisis weigh on asset quality and risk sentiment. While domestic banks are less directly  exposed to peripheral eurozone debt, there is a substantial indirect transmission via financial derivatives  and bilateral trade. Even should a euro meltdown be avoided, deleveraging, stricter regulation and  tighter capital adequacy will stifle long-term industry growth.  Beset by weak economic activity at home, the UK's beleaguered banking sector is under further strain  from the escalating sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone. The failure of European policymakers to broker  a deal that would pave the way for fiscal transfers, an orderly Greek sovereign default and recapitalisation  of the region's banks, has threatened the stability of the currency union. Although UK banks have less  exposure to peripheral debt (namely Greece, Ireland and Portugal) than the likes of France and Germany,  and have sought to raise capital ratios, there is a significant degree of indirect exposure in the form of  credit default swaps - which remain opaque in terms of counterparties and value. As such, a major credit  event in the eurozone risks destabilising the UK banking sector. Moreover, should the eurozone crisis  descend into meltdown, which becomes more possible with every passing day without a resolution, UK  trade would be hit. This in turn would drag down economic growth and prompt further asset quality  deterioration for the nation's banks.
