Return on equity of major UK banks 2005-Q1 2019
As a measure of a bank's performance, return on equity (RoE) measures how well a bank's management uses its assets to create profits. Underlying RoE, which takes out misconduct costs and one-time charges, saw annual improvements between 2016 and 2018. According to the source, the three percent increase seen in major UK banks statutory RoE from 2017 to 2018 was mainly reflected in significant reductions in banks' restructuring costs.
