But is there a sting in the tail?

The UK has taken major stakes in two of its biggest banks, RBS and Lloyds. But the level of insolvencies and restructurings in the two European countries could not be more different. Of course, the economies of Ireland and the UK are a completely different size and structure. It is striking, nevertheless, that while UK administration rates, for instance, continue to stagnate, and while large scale financial restructurings remain thin on the ground in London, Dublin has become something of a work generator for the sector.

Most of us confidently expected levels to rise. Many reasons for this low level have been advanced, but most people agree it would take a major 'game changer' to increase activity. One obvious game changer would be a major increase in interest rates from their historic lows at the moment. But that hasn't happened, yet.
