Comparative Analysis of U.S. Banking Industry with Rising Interest Rates and Exchange Rate of the U.S. Dollar
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 60 page paper discussing aspects of the state of the banking industry and examining the three leading competitors in the industry. Of all of the trends affecting today’s banking industry, consolidation and currency issues are of greatest interest here. Bank of America appears to have less interest in operating internationally than do Citigroup or JP Morgan Chase, but Bank of America actively seeks to serve large businesses. There are not many large businesses today that can survive as well as prosper without maintaining international business in some form. The purpose here is to assess how interest rate movement and forward exchange rates can be expected to affect the banking industry’s three largest competitors in the short- to mid-range future. The paper recommends that Citigroup and Bank of America bring their current assets and current liabilities closer together, and that they, as has JP Morgan Chase already, add balance sheet categories specifically for trading liabilities, including derivative payables. Includes 8 tables and 3 charts. Bibliography lists 96 sources in 79 footnotes.
