Banking & Financial Services Desk
Sarah Williams
Sarah covers global banking — earnings, regulatory capital, M&A, and the systemic risk picture across US, UK and Asian banks. She tracks Tier 1 ratios, NIM trends, deposit flows, loan-loss provisioning cycles, and the implications of Fed/BoE/ECB rate decisions for the banking complex. Whenever a major bank reports earnings or a regulator issues a consultation paper on capital frameworks, the Banking & Finance desk produces the synthesis.
