Banking with Integrity


In medicine, an illness is diagnosed by reading signs and symptoms. One way for the doctor to gain a higher degree of confidence in the diagnosis is to check whether there is a family history of similar conditions. In addition, the doctor can examine people who live in similar conditions yet who are not ill (if available). Such people can help the doctor assess, through comparison to the patient, whether genetic or behavioural factors are more the cause of the illness.
The process of increasing confidence in the initial diagnosis by look- ing at healthier parts of a population takes centre stage in this book. Before we examine banks that have weathered the recent storm in the financial markets better than most, in this introduction we offer an initial diagnosis. Over the following pages we will take a look at some of the symptoms, confirm that financial markets actors have a family history of being in the centre of economic crises, and provide select arguments in support of our initial diagnosis. In the end, we will suggest a treatment that would allow for a healthy financial service sector aligned to societal aims and value creation.
