How are those 2010 predictions coming along?
March 2nd, 2010 | by editor |As we enter the third month of the year and the novelty of a new decade, the teenies, begins to wear off I thought it might be nice to revisit some of the 2010 predictions for the year ahead that FST collected back in January. These predictions about the future of financial services, the economy, IT spending, technology and regulation appeared in the Jan-Feb 2010 print edition of FST, but for those of you that read the original article look again as there are a number of new predictions online that we just couldn’t squeeze into our packed print edition.
Do you agree with some of the predictions, all of them, or only part of them, or do you violently disagree and think “no no no, that’s not where we’re heading at all”! Either way let me know as I’d love to get your feedback on this piece and where you think the industry is heading. Have any of the crystal ball gazers already hit the nail on the head for you – for instance, do you think Datamonitor’s analyst Daoud Fakhri is correct in believing that new entrants to the High Street banking market in the UK are unlikely to break the top five’s stranglehold or that Dr Klaus Wiener, chief economist at Generali Investments, is correct in stating investment grade corporate bonds will be the most attractive asset class in 2010?
