Description: Richard Stovin-Bradford previews the meeting between bankers and the Bank for International Settlements in Basel

Bankers are back to the excessive risk taking that brought on the financial crisis. That, at least, is the fear of the Bank for International Settlements. The so-called "central banks' central bank" has summoned a number of private sector bank chiefs to Basel this weekend to rap their knuckles about the return of "aggressive behaviour that prevailed during the pre-crisis period". Richard Stovin-Bradford previews the meeting.
