Why are the debt to equity ratios so high for banks compared to other companies generally?
A web user asks, For example, the net gearing ratio (debt-to-equity) for banks like ANZ or NAB are in the high numbers (1000 something %). Why is this? How does this high ratio indicate how the bank is performing financially compared to other companies within the industry or to other companies generally?
