  • Germany’s big four private-sector banks have enormous assets but dismal profitability, return on equity and market share and weak cost control. Put well into the shade in retail business by the local savings banks and state banks, which have peculiar funding advantages, they are ill-equipped to meet the challenge of the coming European financial market without frontiers. They are scrabbling around for survival strategies but few of them impress. Jennifer Morris reports on a banking system on its knees
  • The world’s elite AAA-rated bond issuers will need to be fast on their feet to get the best deals in 2002. Interest rates are on the way up and investors look set to focus on yield rather than quality. Charles Olivier reports on borrowing strategies.
  • With Asia already suffering from the global economic slowdown before September 11, which companies manage to stand out as the region’s most resilient performers? Euromoney’s sixth annual poll of Asia’s best companies explores which are the cream of the crop and why they are regarded as the region’s leaders.
  • Investing in credit need not be rocket science. But it definitely requires something more than a dartboard approach. At a time when funds are pouring into Europe's fast-growing credit markets - and when returns are high but so are volatility and the frequency of credit shocks - investors are finding that success in the credit arena boils down to three things: diversification, specialization and, above all, intensive and constant research.
  • Not so long ago touted as a major growth area, the market for bonds issued by European regions and municipalities has proved to be a steady rather than spectacular performer, with old stagers such as the German Länder dominant and newcomers rare. Devolution of power from the centre has not been as fast as expected and despite central governments’ desire to offload debt burdens there are doubts about the viability of sub-sovereign bond finance when it is more costly than central government borrowing.
  • The fastest-growing part of the credit markets is not bonds, loans or commercial paper. It is a curious hybrid of credit derivatives and securitization. The market in synthetic CDOs is growing at an explosive rate and making investment banks plenty of money in the process. But just as the fight for leadership is getting most intense, the most lucrative days of this market may be behind it.

  • Global: Deals of the year 2001: The landmark deals of 2001
  • Last year was marvellous for the debt markets. Despite all the setbacks, such as the collapses of Enron, Argentina and others, frequent interest rate cuts and huge corporate financing programmes kept the banks in clover. This year doing deals will be much tougher. Corporates have less borrowing to do and interest rates may rise. Banks will have to fight harder than ever for market share to keep revenues up.
  • The Turkish banking system is well on the way into restructuring and consolidation that optimists argue will make for a lucrative investment story. State banks are rationalizing – and taking a smaller share of the market – and the way in which private banks will be recapitalized by the treasury will mean that the weakest – half of them – won’t survive unless they merge.
  • In the January edition of Euromoney in the article headed: "Banks downsize, centralize and head for China" we incorrectly stated that Merrill Lynch had pulled out of Indonesia.
