Can G20 leaders tackle the problem of too-big-to-fail banks?

Can G20 leaders tackle the problem of too-big-to-fail banks?

Author: Financial Times July 21, 2014 Duration: 1:05
Patrick Jenkins is joined by Sam Fleming to discuss whether world leaders will be able to agree measures to solve the problem of "too big to fail" banks when the G20 meets later this year in Brisbane. Martin Arnold has news of US banks' second quarter results, where the footnote du jour is that profits took a hit as regulators imposed fines for various misdemeanours. Finally, Sam joins Daniel Schäfer to discuss the latest from the foreign exchange scandal, where the UK's Serious Fraud Office brings the total to more than 15 authorities looking into the manipulation of rates, with the news that it may launch a criminal investigation.
