nearly 25 percent of total revenue in 2010, thanks to strong growth
in the Chinese automotive and financial sectors.

region,” said Najeeb Ghauri, NetSol CEO.
“A fully-owned China subsidiary further
exhibits our ongoing commitment to our clients, and opens up new
possibilities.”

SunGard survey focuses on new
risk policies
Not all European banks are prepared to
implement the Incremental Risk Charge (IRC) set by the Basel
Committee, a new survey by software house SunGard has revealed.
In 2009, the Bank of International
Settlements’ Basel Committee on banking supervision issued revised
guidelines for the charging of capital for incremental risk on the
trading book.
According to the SunGard-sponsored
survey, 64 percent of respondents (executives directly responsible
for IRC modeling at a number of major European banks) expect the
IRC guidelines to be a major disincentive to holding risky credit
assets on the trading book.
Only 10 percent are in the
implementation phase for IRC, with 40 percent still at planning
stage.
