| | Banks Oppose Accounting Proposals (The British Bankers' Association) - Pressi.com |
 | | The British Bankers’ Association (BBA) opposes proposals published by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB) recommending that banks should use market values for measuring all financial assets and liabilities in their annual accounts. | | | The ASB consultation paper is due to be published on Thursday, 14 December and would result in banks having to make radical changes to the way in which they value their loan portfolios and customer deposits in their annual accounts. | | | Tim Sweeney, BBA Director General, said: "The standard setters are aware that the banking industry considers these proposals to be substantially flawed. |

| | TWEA required British banks to yield control of "enemy" accounts and other assets to a Government officer: the Custodian of Enemy Property ("the Custodian"). | | | During the past year, UK banks have been in close contact with the British Department of Trade and Industry and have maintained dialogue with non-governmental organisations as part of the effort to identify assets in the UK relating to accounts controlled by the Government under TWEA. | | | As with any declared state of war, the British Government's aim was to prevent "the enemy" from benefiting from any assets held in the UK. |

| | Bankers have to take care to constantly monitor the health of their loan portfolios to ensure that action can be taken where business borrowers are under performing.[4] The combination of the possibility of an economic downturn and the potential Y2K problem provides a situation of great concern for the banking industry. | | | Business customers borrow substantial sums from banks and this type of business is, of course, a major source of income and profit for the banks. | | | The ways in which the banks may use this power will be examined in the light of the publication by the British Bankers Association of Banks and Businesses: Working Together - A Statement of Principles (1997). |

| | MORI - Half The Population Likely To Overspend At Christmas, British Bankers' Association |
| | Tim Sweeney, director general of the BBA said: "Spending more than we planned seems to be one of the Christmas traditions most of us take for granted, but it's not hard to avoid Christmas festivities turning into a New Year financial hangover - just remember to allow for some leeway for extra spending. | | | Perhaps surprisingly, people in the most affluent region, Greater London and the South East are the most disciplined when it comes to sticking to their planned budgets (55%), while 55% of northerners expect to spend more than planned. | | | Forty nine per cent of the population say they will either set no budget at all or at best only a loose budget, while one in ten people say that they will spend "whatever they feel necessary to have a good Christmas". |
