Citi analysts upgraded their recommendation on Europe's beleaguered banks to "overweight" within regional portfolios, citing signs of improvement in the credit cycle and loan growth as well as cheap relative valuations.
Citi acknowledged headwinds facing the sector such as pressure on profits from ultra-low interest rates, regulatory costs and potential dilution, but added it saw negative risks as being more on selective, individual banks rather than being system-wide.

The context of the treaties is that there are prexisting commitments, agreed by 28 states, and varying them unilaterally to accommodate one wasn't going to happen. Not that the treaties meant that they could give us whatever we asked for.
It kinda summed up the UK's entire relationship with the EU in a nutshell. Keeping heads down and abiding by some of the rules religiously, while demanding many opt-outs from others and periodically demanding others be changed for our benefit exclusively every so often.

Canada, Australia and many others take in more per head.
Canada, population 35 million, are taking in between 280,000 and 305,000 this year, plus refugees, Australia 190,000 permanent economic migrants alone on a population of 23.1 million.
That we can't handle less than 0.5% is a bit... crappy really.
