With a tumultuous 2009 ending with stronger markets than at its start, there remain miles to go and promises still to keep for normality to actually be in place. At various levels from governments/ central banks to financial institutions to individual corporations and not just amongst investors, there remains a reluctance to accept that part of the solution for normality lies in not detachment but recognizing their participation in the build-up of the credit crisis. In addition to funding massive deficits, markets are likely to have to operate with differing challenges for authorities ranged from inflation and deflation as well as the efficacy of prior funding, all insidious. Financial institutions systemically remain crucial but are still in a required reversal required from management for better balance between being marketers of securitized products and being bankers. Such evolution could take years and as a central theme, we expect to favor quality in operations/services as well as balance sheets. Such a stance may appear innocuous but in fact represents a radical departure from the market behavior of the cycles since the 1980s which progressively ratcheted upwards, albeit with hiccups, on accelerated credit and lowered standards.
