Description:As in earlier editions, our 2008 report adds a spotlight section that focuses on a current retail banking issue. This year's spotlight highlights the problems banks face as they search for ways to maximise their retail banks' growth in a changing market, and how some top performers are making strategic choices that ensure their retail operations will sustain the bank's market performance in the years ahead. Based on case studies, in-depth interviews with banking executives in each market around the world, and quantitative analysis, the spotlight section concentrates on the operational levers and client value propositions that can help retail banks grow in the high-income domestic markets in which they operate today.
