Dublin, Aug. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Europe Regional Retail Banking Analysis by Country, Consumer Credit, Retail Deposits and Residential Mortgages, 2023” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Examining Europe’s Retail Banking Landscape: Insights into Markets and Trends
This report delves into the European retail banking sector, offering a comparative perspective that sheds light on the similarities and distinctions among markets within the region. It offers a comprehensive overview of key banking players in each market, along with vital banking metrics such as average net interest margin. These insights are complemented by macroeconomic forecasts, offering a glimpse into a country’s economic composition and its retail banking sector.
Navigating the Low-Interest Landscape: Impact on Net Interest Margins
The persistent low-interest rate environment in Europe has kept net interest margins subdued. However, a shift in monetary policy is expected to mark the end of this prolonged phase. The anticipated peak of inflation in 2022 sets the stage for its subsiding in 2023, while remaining above the 2% target rate until the latter half of 2025. With European economies poised for a period of stagnation, the impact of interest rate hikes in response to inflation will manifest with a lag, leading to sluggish economic growth in the foreseeable future.
Key Insights into Banking Giants and Market Concentration
Sparkassen in Germany, Credit Agricole in France, and Lloyds Banking Group in the UK emerge as Europe’s three largest banks in terms of retail deposits. A pertinent observation is the consistent concentration levels seen in European retail deposit and residential mortgage markets over the past five years. Notably, the Netherlands takes the lead in retail deposit market concentration, attributed to the extended average tenure of Dutch current account customers. Spain, however, presents a different scenario due to Santander’s acquisition of Banco Popular, resulting in a significant surge in retail deposit market concentration.
