The gathering storm

This year's Sibos is haunted by the ghosts of Vienna in 2008, when a large chunk of delegates were called back to their home offices to deal with the fall out from the collapse of Lehman Brothers. While (fingers crossed) there are no rumours of crashing banks yet (too much government money floating around now) the most exciting whisper in Hong Kong...

Are We Heading Into Chaos - Again?

This is the time of year when the financial services industry, or at least the "techie" element heads off to some exotic venue for the annual SWIFT jamboree. SWIFT as we all know is the global financial messaging operator. And as part and parcel of what they do, they have also created the messaging standards on which the financial world ...
