State Bank of India open to acquisitions in UK | www.reuters.com
Why would SBI want to invest in the UK? If I was an advisor to SBI that would certainly be the last place I would focus on.Why?No synergies. Too expensive.Although I suppose there is a certain element of pride in attempting to buy into the backyard of a country that ruled and humilated India for too long, there are better international strategies for SBI.

This contrast will definitely lend itself to more transparency and clarity with this current lending crisis vs. the previous residential and consumer meltdown.

Lending in Europe continues to shrink | www.ft.com
Banks are crucial to the proper functioning of a capitalist economy and must therefore be treated differently to other businesses. If a bank is too big to fall it must surrender some of its freedom to operate in the free-market and expose it self to much more stringent regulatory control and government interference (unfortunately)....otherwise the whole system can fall again!
