  • Should CIBC Merge With Barclay?

    1976 Words  | 4 Pages

    The early decades of the nineteenth century saw the establishment of banks in the Caribbean largely as a convenience for the local governments. Throughout much of the nineteenth century, most Caribbean banks operated as an oligopoly with limited government influence – this directly translated into higher profits. However, over time, the banking environment could best be described as complex and dynamic. Competition increased, resulting into greater need for improved customer service, product innovation and cost reduction strategies. In order to achieve this, the banking sector was undergoing major structural reforms characterized by mergers and acquisitions. On July 23, 2001 Barclays and CIBC announced that they were in advanced discussions which were intended to lead to the combination of their retail, corporate and offshore banking operations in the Caribbean.

    The bank failure in Jamaica illustrates how negative mindsets and behaviors can devastate the financial system and disrupt economic growth. The primary role of any bank is to safeguard its customer’s money, offer interest rate on deposits, lend money to creditworthy individuals, and make sound investment decisions to maximize shareholder value. Because of rapid economic growth between the late 1980s and early 1990s in Jamaica, the Central National Bank (CNB) and Worker’s Savings and Loans Bank (WSLB) loosened their monetary policies, provided preferential interest rates and extended credit beyond what was reasonable to members of its own board of directors, managing directors, and officers of the bank. These actions posed significant risks to the bank and its future.

    Walking along the Singapore river, numerous banking and financial towers could be easily observed. As the financial centre in Asia, almost all the big names in financial world have established their presences in Singapore. However, local banking industry was not as successful as it is today in Singapore. Previously, local banks focused on providing services to local people who were mostly illiterate and were not served by the larger foreign banks limited by culture and language barrier. Most importantly, they lent financial support to local business and industries so that these local banks were regarded as the financial driver and laid foundation for the prosperous business development in the area along Singapore River. The mutual support among Chinese business groups and financial bodies in banking industry made them advance together. Today, many local banks, such as United Chinese Bank(UOB), Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation(OCBC) have become the most successful and famous bank in Singapore.
