Credit Crunch Nationalisation – future of banks after huge capital injection by governments in exchange for banking shares. Impact on wider economy, global economic crisis and future of banking. Comment by keynote conference speaker Patrick Dixon
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 15:21:40 10/13/08
http://www.globalchange.com. Life after nationalisation of banks – Europe, UK, US government action to take shares in exchange for injection of capital. What happens after radical action on credit crunch and banking share price collapse. Future trends in banking and financial services? Risk of global economic meltdown - how market fear and greed creates chaos. Many risks of further price falls, when market traders driven by fear and uncertainty. Why markets over-react. Restoring investor confidence and trust, taking advantage of new investment opportunities. Taking long term investor view. Restoring stability to global markets. Recession and depression – lessons from history. Sub-prime crisis and fear of unknown liabilities. Inter-bank lending may take a long time to recover – even with huge government bailouts, injection of liquidity, partial nationalisation of banks (capitalisation). The sharper the recession and market collapse, the stronger the measures that will be taken (eg cutting interest rates) and more likely it is that when economic recovery comes, it could lead to another big cycle of boom and bust.

Future of Banking: Credit Crunch, Marking to Market impact. Sub-Prime Crisis - What next after global market chaos and share price collapse?
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 19:04:16 10/08/08
Future of banking after the credit crunch and sub-prime crisis. Meltdown of financial markets. Fire sale of banking assets after mark to market tests. Capital adequacy, bank solvency and capital injection with partial nationalisation. Global chaos in banking. Impact on banking profits from global economic chaos, recession and collapse in bank share prices. Retail banking, corporate banking, wholesale banking and investment banking will become profitable again. Video by keynote conference speaker Dr Patrick Dixon . The banking crisis will lead to further consolidation, cuts in retail outlets and staff redundancies. This will remove competition from the market and allow greater profit margins over things like commercial loans and mortgages or current account bank charges. Coupled with cost-savings, this will result in healthy profits in future. Banking share prices are in turn likely to show recovery, which could also mean that the end cost of expensive government rescue packages may be less than feared, if they involved providing banks with equity in return for shares. Taxpayers may actually make a gain from their public ownwership of slices of banks. While huge remuneration for CEOs and Chairman of banks will come under scrutiny, and while regulation will be stricter, we can expect rewards for the most skilled bankers to once again be very generous. Interest rate cuts will also help banks indirectly by stimulating the businesses they lend to and helping to take the edge off a long recession.

Engaging with audience with participation, questions, straw polls, discussion, walking into the audience, using volunteers - all important. Audience experience, performance and theatre rather than a lecture or cold presentation of ideas. All great keynote speakers know how to connect with an audience, how to build rapport, relationship, chemistry, emotional bond. Humour, funny stories about real life business issues. Entertaining and motivational conference keynote speakers all know how to connect with passion, provocative, thought-provoking.
