Bankers are 'kept awake' by fears of new crisis

Another global recession triggering a catastrophic banking crisis is keeping bankers awake at night, according to a survey of the world's banking industry from the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation (CSFI).

The main cause of anxiety is the eurozone crisis, with the shock of a euro collapse liable to hit banks not just in Europe but in all major regions of the world, says CSFI's annual Banking Banana Skins survey, produced in association with PwC.
