Highlights of last financial year From the kaleidoscope of events which have marked the year, let me focus on a few chosen scenes. 2  BIS Review 150/2010  Performance of the banking sector –  Our banking sector remained in good shape, and showed commendable resilience, due mainly to our prudent regulatory and supervisory framework.
Although the growth of 1.8 per cent in total assets recorded by the sector in the period under review did not match the performance of 10.9 per cent in the preceding year, it should still be considered quite robust, viewed against the backdrop of the gradual recovery of the global economy from the economic crisis and the sorry state of banking and finance in major economies.
