Banks (referred to under Section PD-1.2) should, in their Annual Reports, provide timely information which facilitates market participants' assessment of them. There are seven broad categories of information (as set out in Paragraphs PD-1.3.5 to PD-1.3.11 and Section PD-1.4), each of which should be addressed in clear terms and with appropriate details to help achieve a satisfactory level of bank transparency.
