And this has led all the big banks that reported last week to increase their guidance for how much they expecting to make from their lending activities this year.

这导致上周发布报告的所有大银行都提高了对今年贷款活动预期收益的指导。

I think it was a great way to understand what is such a complex part of the financial system - is how are banks actually viewing their lending activity?

我认为这是了解金融体系如此复杂的部分的好方法——银行实际上如何看待他们的贷款活动？

And then the other one is in the leveraged lending activities that a lot of these banks do, so helping provide financing for leveraged buyouts and things like that.

然后另一个是许多这些银行所做的杠杆借贷活动，所以帮助为杠杆收购和类似的事情提供融资。

They've made bumper profits from their lending activities and they've been able to do this really because they haven't been rewarding savers with higher savings rates as they've been charging borrowers higher rates on their loans.

他们从贷款活动中获得了丰厚的利润，他们能够做到这一点是因为他们没有用更高的储蓄率来回报储户，因为他们向借款人收取了更高的贷款利率。
