You are a consultant working for the international banking group at Deloitte. Your firm has been approached by a top 10 international bank (your choice from the latest top 20 rankings in the Topic 1 note or from other sources) to undertake an assessment on its global strategy. You need to produce a report outlining the banks overall performance as a whole and the importance of its global income stream for the past five years. Importantly, you have been asked by the senior management team of that bank to identify one or two key areas of challenges (risks), and potential opportunities that it has been facing in their global market strategies and/or will face in the near future that will likely affect its performance in the near term. More importantly, you are required to propose strategies to minimize those risks and at the same time, take advantage of the emerging opportunities in the global market.
