You will appreciate the power of the Business Trends Library in bringing you Impacts which may affect your firm, which may arise a long way from your usual purview. People doing Business Environment Assessment generally do not look wide enough to discover Impacts which may affect them. This builds up to the conclusion that Scenarios need to be drawn from a comprehensive Data Base of the Business Environment. This you will get if you subscribe to Scenarios from the Business Trends Library.

Where an impact comes from a Sector which itself is in Open Access you will see how this operates, and how you can evaluate yourself how the Impact arises and its effect on your firm.

Banks deploy savings where they can be used productively. Their network expands as more people join, to approaching saturation in the advanced countries. The network expands geographically as other Less Developed Counties come into the economic levels where people join the Banks.

Saturation in the advanced countries is also limiting growth for Banks - Scenarios for the Branch networks, other financial institutions, instabilities and the effects on the weight of deposits.
