Barclays has boosted its emerging market desk with the hire of Gary Hawkins from ABN Amro. Hawkins spent 12 years at ABN Amro, most recently as head of local markets trading at the bank that is soon to be no more and that was nearly bought by Barclays, funnily enough.
Hawkins has already started as MD and head of emerging markets trading, EEMEA, responsible for all credit and rates trading activities in emerging Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
