The show must go on!

Even during this financial crisis, the high-street banks still live high on the hog. Only a week ago Belgian banks needed money from the government to survive and their shareholders saw their money turn to dust. Nevertheless Dexia and Fortis Insurance organised luxurious banquets for their best representatives and their most important clients. By doing this they want to keep their image and ensure the financial world that they still have confidence in the future.

Topic sentence: make it a bit more specific. Good flow.
