A Swedish Review of Banking
profits, it is shown, has been much more widespread. More than half of the countries for which figures are given suffered net lossss on their banking systems as a whole, and in the case of the others net profits were reduced on an aver age to a minimal amount. "The banks of Great Britain," says the writer, "functioning as they do
with extraordinary stability, are the only ones that have been able to pay almost as high during the crisis as they did before." Other- wise heavy losses and failures have practically all countries. It was been recorded among the banks in this fact, he points out, that led to the nationalization of the bank- ing system in Austria, and, in the ity of the English banks to ab- main, also in Germany. The abil
stain from drastic cuts to divid ends is a result of their policy of building up large reserves in pros- perous years. Thus in the depres- slon shareholders have reaped the benefit of the conservative divid- end policy. pursued when profita were large, and the banks have been able to retain the confidence of both depositors and sharehold- era.
