Countries that fail to proactively position themselves today will wake up then to continue to complain of marginalization. I can see Asia consolidating. I see consolidation in Europe, America, and South America.
Consolidation is taking place in South Africa such that one bank in South Africa - Amalgamated Banks of South Africa (ABSA) has asset base larger than all of Nigerian commercial banks put together. Malaysia has recently gone through its first round of consolidation whereby about 80 banks shrunk to about 12 within one year.
