This survey was designed to learn how bankers and close observers of the banking scene perceive the risks facing the industry. The questionnaire (reproduced in the Appendix) was in three parts.
In the first, respondents were asked to describe, in their own words, their main concerns about the financial system over the next 2-3 years. In the second, they were asked to rate a list of potential risks, or Banana Skins, selected by a CSFI/PricewaterhouseCoopers panel, by severity on a scale of 1-5 and whether they were rising, steady or falling. In the third, they were asked to rate the preparedness of financial institutions to handle the risks they identified. Replies were confidential, but respondents could choose to be identified. The survey was conducted in February and March 2008, and received 376 responses from 38 countries.
