The financial crisis has caused the disappearance of many high street banking names including Bradford & Bingley and Alliance & Leicester. According to critics, it is said that the lenders are taking advantage of the lack of competition in the lending markets to boost profits.
With the further sharp falls of ten basis points from 0.87% to 0.77% in the three-month sterling Libor rate, which is a key lending rate between banks influencing the price of some types of mortgage deals, banks and building societies are to come under increasing pressure to cut their rates on mortgages. However, the banks have been criticized for failing to pass on in full the reductions in the bank rate and the lower costs of borrowing via Libor.
The British Bankers’ Association argues that its members now face higher costs such as the costs with banks required to hold more capital.

Last night, world economists warned that the economic situation in the UK will be hit harder than any other developed nation in the worst recession.
The International Monetary Fund outlook suggests that UK’s recession will be deeper than that in the U.S., Italy, France and elsewhere. It is forecast that, in the bleakest assessment of British prospects the economy would further shrink by 2.8% in 2009, twice as much as previously expected and far more than the 2% average drop for other developed countries in 2009. Though Gordon Brown has continually insisted that UK is better placed than most countries during the downturn, the stark figures shows the tough reality.
As the “scale and scope of the current financial crisis have taken the global economy into uncharted waters”, the world growth is expected to rise at no more than 0.5% this year, which means the weakest annual growth since the Second World War.

According to analysts, one of Europe’s leading banks—Spanish-owned Santander, may not be same from further blows to the banking sector expected in 2009.
The bank is regarded as robust after the start of the financial crisis, as it has snapped up three UK’s high street banks, which are Abbey National, Alliance&Leicester and Bradford & Bingley. However, now, it is not immune to complications at home and abroad and has recently announced it will cut down 1900 job in the UK. It’s facing great challenges in Spain with the nation’s mortgage market in dire straits and arrears at all-time highs. Meanwhile, in the UK, it needs to deal with the press brought by integration of Alliance&Leicester and Bradford & Bingley into Abbey National.
Santander is taken as a global powerhouse nowadyas, but its widespread presence could also present trouble as many businesses to which it lends are strggling.
Experts are warning that banks are not on a secure path to recovery. Another sharp downturn is expected to come next summer. As a result, investors are likely to treat any short-term stock market recovery with scepticism, fearing that it is just a temporary respite from the long-term bear market.
