The world’s investment banks suffered falling revenues across all regions during the first nine months of the year, as fears over an economic slowdown caused chief executives to put dealmaking and fundraising on ice.

In a tough year for the industry, banks made $56.2bn from deal advice, underwriting and lending in the first nine months of the year, down 10% on the same period in 2018, according to Dealogic, the financial data provider.
