Bank News no. 4 - April 2010

The banking industry has continued to generate a lot of column inches in recent months.

Following the publication of annual reports for the year 2009, our European benchmark has confirmed that the banks in our sample have seen improvements in profitability and solvency levels.
In addition, this fourth issue of Bank News provides an opportunity to look at how this improved performance has been greeted by the market, and to put it into the context of:
- the regulator’s plans on liquidity and trading activities;
- the various ways of financing the economy;
- the current regulations on asset management.
Finally, Mazars provides an update on developments in the fight against money laundering in Switzerland, as well as on the proposed EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) Directive.
