Unpopular, shrinking and increasingly regulated, Western banks are having a difficult time. The stock market values them at below their book value, implying they will do a poor job in future. Graduates increasingly regard them as embarrassing to work for. So what’s the future for these banks? Is this just a temporary phase before returning to steady growth and strong profitability? Or are they likely to be more like utilities in future – useful, slow growing and dull. How likely is it that we face another bank-driven financial crisis in future? Simon, himself a former employee of JP Morgan and Citigroup, will share some thoughts on the likely future for the major banks of the US and Europe.
