The Banking Industry in the Nineties: Do Emerging Trends Challenge The Theory?

Abstract

The history of economics provides us with many examples of facts challenging the current state of theoretical understanding, thus inducing significant and rapid progress of the theory; we may have been experiencing such a situation for the past fifteen years in the area of banking. After half a century of a rather ‘quiet life’, banking and finance indeed entered a tremendous period in most countries and at the international level, which has sometimes been qualified as a true financial revolution. Bankers, economists and policy-makers have been so puzzled by such radical change that some of them have come to question the mere survival of banks in the not so distant future whereas others lament that it has become a declining industry1.
