FX comment: Lloyds gets form for Euromoney FX survey

One of the most fundamental questions that this year’s Euromoney survey will answer is the extent to which market share is falling into the hands of a few banks.

Last year the combined share of the top three banks (Deutsche, UBS and Barclays Capital) was 40.44%, a decline of more than 5% from the previous two years. It wasn’t just the remainder of the top 10 that was catching up (market share of this group increased 3% over 2009), but the market share of those in 11th to 20th places also increased by around 3%. There the competition for share seemed to end. Perhaps the most telling statistic was that the top 20 banks had more that 90% of the market in each of the last four years.
