Jw - you are talking rubbish.

Deloitte has international clients and, as such, has an international staff.

They are not builders in case you did not know.

Deloitte, another Globalist Company that thinks it can scare the Country into change of minds. All they want is to keep wages low by Immigration and not investing in our home grown people and taking everything and give nothing in return for a good business address.

Bye bye - join the sinking EU ship - good luck .

Angela Merkel has for the first time signalled that she is willing to compromise on the issue of freedom of movement in the wake of Britain’s Brexit vote.
In comments seen as a significant shift, the German Chancellor suggested that the European Union needs to “discuss further” the rules around freedom of movement.
It suggests for the first time that Britain may be able to gain full control of its borders while still retaining access to the single market, something that EU leaders including Jean-Claude Juncker have previously said would be impossible.
Until now, Mrs Merkel has always insisted that there would never be any movement on the issue of freedom of movement, which gives EU citizens the

The bullish case for US banks is built on the idea that we are entering an era of higher interest rates, coupled with a president that is keen to roll back some of the legislation enacted in the wake of financial crisis. The new administration has made noises about lifting some regulations, with the Dodd-Frank provisions mentioned during the course of last week, which may be why the sector enjoyed such a strong move.

Of course, actual detail is still lacking, and may be for some time, but one possibility is that the minimum asset threshold for banks designated as ‘too big to fail’ (TBTF) is $50 billion. If this is lifted to $250 billion then many US banks might find themselves outside of the TBTF designation, giving them more capital to expand their businesses.

For the biggest banks, a limiting of Dodd-Frank provisions could allow the return of some activities such as proprietary trading, while a reduction in regulations would reduce costs and increase profitability, raising the prospect of higher dividends.

On the interest rate front, a period of higher inflation caused by increase infrastructure spending and tax cuts could see the Federal Reserve having to move more quickly, and more dramatically, than many had expected. Global banks have seen their profitability hit by record-low interest rates, but with the Fed already talking about raising rates (after a hike in December 2015), investors were on the lookout for any sign that further rate increases were on their way. Indeed, data has shown that ETFs tracking financial stocks saw seven consecutive weeks of inflows in the period to 9 November, a phenomenon that may accelerate now that Donald Trump has won and talk of stimulus is in the air.

At present US banks currently trade at around 11 times forward earnings, versus a low of 9 times in February 2016. At the peak of the crisis, the sector traded at over 33 times earnings. A removal of regulations could see banks due for a re-rating, particularly if Trump also succeeds in boosting US economic growth through his stimulus plans.

Wasn't it Bob the Diamond who wanted to expand in Africa?...

[jdb2005] 14/11/2016 11:45

Good article - looks like BARC has no option but to cut deal pay for new systems & reduce its exposure as it was a mistake to expand in Africa.
