  • South America, Africa, Asia and the Middle

Strategy

  • The west remains the centre of decision

making and economic power in global banking

  • London and New York remain by far the

largest global financial centres

  • Western regulators and central banks,

alongside the IMF, continue to be recognised as the thought leaders in global financial services

  • South America, Africa, Asia and the Middle

East become a largely self-sufficient and dominant economic, financial and trading bloc, confirming a shift in global economic power

  • Western banks are locked out of the major

emerging growth markets and struggle to remain relevant in the new world order

  • Emerging market banks can freely enter the

west and do so aggressively (both

  • rganically and by acquisition)

Draft Section 2.1 – Rise of SAAAME

  • There will be a continued and inexorable shift of power to SAAAME, both in terms of capital and
  • influence. SAAAME is likely to become a self-sufficient trading bloc
  • Increasingly, emerging market banks will compete in western markets

– It is relatively simple for emerging market banks to enter western markets – At present, these banks are cautious and may focus on other emerging markets first – However, as they gain scale, they are increasingly likely to seek returns from banking both

PricewaterhouseCoopers Foundation for Fiscal Studies • Ireland- Brave in a New World? 19

– However, as they gain scale, they are increasingly likely to seek returns from banking both ends of the ‘trade pipe’

  • It will remain difficult for western banks to enter and expand in protectionist SAAAME markets,

although opportunities will continue to exist in African and South American markets

  • Overall, for western banks, the market will become increasingly competitive and growth will

come primarily from taking share from others

Demographic change

‘Business as usual’ Banking continues on its existing course ‘New world order’ Banks are attacked on multiple fronts

  • Major intergenerational conflict emerges in

aging societies, denting already slowing economic growth

Strategy

  • Healthier and longer-living populations mean

western GDP continues to grow

  • Western banks thrive as they develop new

products to support demand for financial services from ageing populations

  • Growing and more affluent populations in

emerging markets present new opportunities for western banks to offer financial services and / or assist in managing their assets economic growth

  • Younger people in the west do not trust

banks and use non-bank alternatives, further decreasing the market for banking

  • Cross-border investment faces increasing

regulatory issues, essentially preventing young people in emerging economies from buying assets from retirees in developed countries, thus further depressing asset prices

  • Many western banks need to shrink to

survive ?

Draft Section 2.2 – Demographic change

  • The size of the total addressable market may reduce in certain European countries with

declining and ageing populations (e.g. Germany). Caution needs to be taken to avoid over- investing in low growth or declining markets

  • Demographic shifts will impact the mix of financial products consumed, given that consumers

require different products at different stages in their lives. Banks will need to ensure that their product offerings remain relevant to the changing customer base

PricewaterhouseCoopers Foundation for Fiscal Studies • Ireland- Brave in a New World? 23

product offerings remain relevant to the changing customer base

  • Younger generations will interact in a different way, as demonstrated by the rapid growth of

social media, and will likely demand a new and distinct offering from their banks

  • The mechanism for funding retirement will need to change given population ageing. It is likely

that assets will increasingly need to be divested to younger people in high growth markets in

  • rder to fund retirement

War for resources

‘Business as usual’ Banking continues on its existing course ‘New world order’ Banks are attacked on multiple fronts

Strategy

  • There will be limited, if any, disputes

(economic, political or military) over

  • resources. Global supply will meet demand
  • Banks will continue offering similar product

mixes and pursue the same investment strategies

  • There will increasingly be disputes

(economic, political or military) over

  • resources. Global supply will fail to meet

demand

  • The requirement for investments to be

sustainable will become a key driver of the way banks allocate capital ?

Draft Section 2.3 – War for resources

  • As global demand for natural resources continues to rise, supply will not be able to keep pace

– The growing scarcity of resources such as oil and rare earths is already apparent – Increasingly, the west will be faced with shortages of resources it currently takes for granted, such as water

  • Climate change is likely to exacerbate the problem
  • Disputes over resources (economic, political or military) are increasingly likely

PricewaterhouseCoopers Foundation for Fiscal Studies • Ireland- Brave in a New World? 29

  • Disputes over resources (economic, political or military) are increasingly likely

– Governments and private companies have already made a series of unprecedented land grabs to secure food and other resources for the future. Further such moves may create international tensions

  • Going forward, banks will need to invest in and finance resources and technologies that are
  • sustainable. Stakeholder pressure will ensure that sustainability becomes a key driver in capital

allocation decisions

  • Banks will need to adjust to a world in which certain assets, many of which are currently readily

available, become increasingly scarce and valuable

“In the interests of jobs for Saskatchewan families, in the interests of the quality of life that we prize that is funded by revenues to the government, in the interest of the place of our province and our country in the world, we must say no to this hostile takeover … the people of Saskatchewan deserve nothing less than a potash industry unequivocally managed, operated and marketed for the benefit of Canada and Saskatchewan.” Brad Wall, Saskatchewan Premier, October 2010 “Unocal is located in the United States and has approximately 1.75 billion barrels of oil. It would be foolish, to say the least, to allow a foreign government ... to own that much of such a strategic resource so vital to the U.S. Economy ...”

The government of Saskatchewan has urged the Canadian federal government to block BHP Billiton’s hostile bid for Potashcorp to protect the province’s best interests. The US government has both blocked M&A activity it perceives as harmful to America’s interests …

government ... to own that much of such a strategic resource so vital to the U.S. Economy ...” Byron Dorgan, US Senator, July 2005, introducing a bill to bar a merger between China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and Unocal “This deal is completely consistent with what the U.S. government has said they would like to see Chinese energy companies do, which is to provide capital into America to acquire minority interests and for American companies to use that capital to go out and develop American oil fields and to reduce oil imports.” Aubrey McClendon, CEO of Chesapeake Energy, October 2010, speaking after CNOOC’s successful, government approved purchase of a 33% stake in Chesapeake’s Eagle Ford shale project

… and approved M&A activity aligned to national interests and its industrial policy. Some business leaders in the UK have begun to call for similar government intervention.

“If as a country we are more accessible to foreign control than other countries are, we need to look at changing the philosophical stance on it rather than just the rule book – and that decision is a matter for the government”.

“People might not understand the minutiae of over-leveraging or short-selling, but they know that the roots of our current crisis lie in irresponsibility … We need to make sure the financial sector serves the long-term interests of the economy, not just its own short-term interests … The financial sector must understand that it cannot behave like this crisis never happened.” David Cameron, July 2009 “Banks need to show some restraint and show some discipline and show some sense of responsibility.” President Obama, January 2009

“If there is to be a recovery, it will be a trade recovery and banks will have a crucial role in funding that trade through their commercial and investment banking arms. That’s their “socially useful” purpose.” Telegraph, November 2009 “The financial crisis resulted in a massive socialisation of losses after decades of private gain … The public have already paid for the failure of the banks twice, first by bailing them out, and then by suffering a programme of drastic cuts to public services to appease the financial markets. We need urgent reform of the banking system to ensure that bailed-out banks are not allowed to repeat their failures. The government should ensure that banks use public money in a way that is socially useful …” New Economics Foundation, October 2010 “Banks are meant to serve a socially useful function by channelling savings into productive businesses but they lost sight of that. Radical restructuring is needed to separate their genuine utility functions from their gambling activities.” Observer, June 2010

  • All businesses will need to adjust to governments exerting greater control over both their

– In emerging markets, governments have exerted significant control for many years and this is likely to persist
