High-street banks, bail-out funds, stress tests and EU regulations

In this week's podcast: We take a look at the new high street bank to be launched, backed by some high-profile individuals; we turn our attention to the suggestion by Alessandro Profumo, chief executive of Italy’s UniCredit, that there should be a European recovery fund set up for banks; we ask whether the stress-tests results due at the end of next week are going to be credible; we review the general regulatory environment in Europe.Presented by Patrick Jenkins, with Sharlene Goff and Brooke Masters.Produced by LJ Filotrani Hosted on Acast.
