The Commonwealth Bank has announced that it will follow the lead of its rivals in cutting its final dividend. Other major banks have cut their dividends in a bid to improve capital ratios, as charges for bad debts have risen significantly. However, despite this negative news, Australian banks are enduring the global financial crisis relatively well compared to those elsewhere.

The Chinese financial system needs urgent reform, so the announcements by the PBOC that it will slow down reforms in the sector is bad news for foreign FSIs. Not only will the market be relatively closed to them but there is a risk that it may be pushed beyond immediate help, crippled by a lack of liquidity through high bad debt levels.

The long list of banks raising new money in the current crisis has been joined by HSBC, with the announcement of a GBP12.5 billion cash call. What singles the company's money-raising exercise out from the others is less the scale of the operation than the fact that it is acquiring cash in the traditional way, pointing not just to the bank's strength, but to fledgling faith in the banking industry.

Morgan Stanley has acquired Nan Tung Bank, a small bank based in China's Guangdong Province. Although the Chinese bank has only one branch and less than 40 employees, the deal provides Morgan Stanley with a much sought-after banking license for the Chinese market, and thus could well prove a shrewd investment.

The Royal Bank of Scotland's new CEO has signaled that the bank is not expecting to make any profit in 2008. The bank has grown in size and influence over the last 10 years, and has quite possibly made one acquisition too many. Indeed, the bank has spent almost $90 billion on takeovers since 2000, which has contributed significantly to its current poor financial state.

Swiss bank UBS has announced that it will employ over 2,000 new staff in Asia, taking its headcount back to pre-crisis levels. The move reflects the new-found health and confidence at the bank and is yet another show of international banks' commitment to the region. However, if UBS and others are to secure the talent they need for their long-term growth plans, they need to invest in training.
