Ring fencing the banks

Ring fencing the banks

Source: Hudson & Yorke

The Independent Commission on Banking (ICB) published its long awaited report on banking reform in the UK (final report) on 12 September 2011.

The ICB has recommended to the Government “ring-fencing” of banks’ UK retail activities from their investment banking operations in order to improve stability within the UK banking sector.

This report from Hudson & Yorke provides senior information communication technology (ICT) managers in financial services with an insight into the ICB’s ring-fencing recommendations. The report assesses the impact of ring-fencing to banks’ ICT services and infrastructure by assessing the ring-fencing recommendations, and examines the issues involved in planning, designing and implementing a ring-fence in a post-ICB world.
