Description: In this book, a leading team of Reuters correspondents focuses on the key demographic, regulatory, branding, e-commerce, risk management, and other strategic issues facing the world's leading financial players. You'll find sophisticated analysis of questions like these: Is the industry equipped to handle the coming explosion in asset management? How will US firms fare in the European marketplace? How will the role of insurance providers change? Are today's global banks really "too big to fail" -- and do they require supra-national regulation? How can traditional financial service providers fend off new competition from outside the industry? What does the future hold for online consumer banking? Are financial intermediaries doomed? Will new intermediaries take their place? What lessons have been learned from the market crash of 1998 -- and which haven't been learned? How can today's diverse, global financial institutions accurately measure risk? Is there any customer benefit to banking consolidation?
