10 QUOTES WITH «BANKS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Banks.
1
Frank Abagnale
Banks are so protected from liability they would have to really do something that was their mistake in order for them to be liable for it. Banks don't look at signatures. They're processing millions of checks and they have very little liability.
2
Nicos Anastasiades
I would like to thank the Cypriot people for their maturity and collectedness shown in their interactions with the Cypriot Banks.
3
Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair
Banks are concerned the central bank is imposing too many regulations. If the trend continues, we'll swing to heavy regulation. We need to have balanced regulation to encourage the economy.
4
James Buchan
At the heart of banking is a suicidal strategy. Banks take money from the public or each other on call, skim it for their own reward and then lock the rest up in volatile, insecure and illiquid loans that at times they cannot redeem without public aid.
5
Martin Van Buren
Banks properly established and conducted are highly useful to the business of the country, and will doubtless continue to exist in the States so long as they conform to their laws and are found to be safe and beneficial.
6
Vince Cable
Banks operate like a man who either wears his trousers round his chest, stifling breathing, as now, or round his ankles, exposing his assets. We want their trousers tied round their middle: steady lending growth; particularly to productive British business, especially small scale enterprise.
7
Bob Diamond
Banks hold deposits and savings entrusted to them by individuals, by businesses, by governments and by central Banks. They put that money to work, helping people to buy homes, for example, or lending to businesses to invest in expansion.
8
Jeroen Dijsselbloem
Banks should contribute to the real economy, make a positive contribution to economic growth.
9
Rahm Emanuel
Banks are slowly but surely lending again, and never again will taxpayers foot the bill for Wall Street's excesses. In case we forgot, that was the change we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
10
Sebastian Faulks
Life can be lived at a remove. You trade in futures, and then you trade in derivatives of futures. Banks make more money trading derivatives than they do trading actual commodities.
