Increased transaction volumes continued to drive non-interest income growth. Price increases contributed moderately as they were kept well below the inflation rate. The growth in transaction volumes emanated from the increased activities of existing customers and growth in the retail customer base from 6.9 million in March 2005 to 7,6 million in December 2005.

While many commentators question the sustainability of hedge fund fees, we would highlight the long-only retail arena as an area where some fees do not reflect value added for the customer, but rather the distribution capabilities of the product manufacturer.

With regard to 1 January 2006 renewals, insurers remained very competitive. They are still prepared to provide increased limits while deductibles remained flexible. However, they moved away from a percentage-of-claim deductible to a fixed-figure basis. Insurers are also still keen to provide cover on a retail value basis.
Diann Johnson
A lot of things have occurred that have resulted in a decrease in retail (tax clients). It would seem that that could be one of the factors that are generating a lot of interest in people doing their own taxes.

We believe quality banks from those areas, whose practices are more integrated with the international practice, will be more helpful in improving our corporate governance. Our major requirement is that the bank or financial group should excel in retailing banking business.

It's a matter of adding just 100-odd points. That should happen anytime, if not Monday. There is a lot of liquidity. Money is coming in from all sources _ retail investors, mutual funds and foreigners.

First-time buyers' dependence on Web-based media validates the need for an aggressive interactive strategy to court them on the manufacturer and retail level. The Internet's relevance in the 18-30 year age group has reached critical mass and is completely reconfiguring how car companies need to reach out to first-time buyers.
Lonnie Miller
It seemed a pretty good result. People would have been a bit nervous after the Origin retail result, but they've come out quite well.

Eric Knight
[And industry lines will start to blur, too.] Why isn't Wal-Mart in banking? Why don't they have travel-agency reservations online? Why doesn't American Airlines have retailing and a bank? ... You're going to see cross-industry competition.
Eric Greenberg
Many of our retail competitors have much lower cost structures that allow them to run different business models that are valued by both employees and customers alike.

Edward Crutchfield
You might say that it does appear that they want to capitalize on the center of San Francisco downtown retail expanding and moving south. I guess they want to own the whole thing.
