Calls for a banking sector market study are ramping up, after the Reserve Bank asked for one earlier this week. Bank profits have never been higher than those reported last year, it was the first time they’ve ever cracked $6 billion. Public Policy group Monopoly Watch has set out the terms of reference it thinks the Commerce Commission could use.
