About this issue
The BIS Quarterly Review for March 2010, released today, gives an overview of recent developments in financial markets. It attributes the fall in asset prices between mid-January and mid-February to, among other factors, the unevenness of the global economic recovery and concerns about sovereign credit risk in the light of large fiscal deficits. It also provides highlights from the latest BIS data on international banking and financial activity.
