  • This time last year – and the year before that – a great deal of discussion about Qatar concerned its likely ascent from the MSCI’s frontier index to its emerging markets index. Both Qatar and the UAE had been on MSCI’s watchlist for upgrade to the more senior index, and were widely expected to graduate.

  • The decision by UBS to perform elective surgery on its own investment bank can be partly attributed to pressure from bank-stock analysts. It might be premature to hail the dawning of a new age of the analysts, but a group who had become best known for astonishingly inaccurate stock forecasts and fawning attitudes to bank CEOs has at least begun to redeem itself.
  • While rivals shut branches to cut costs, new entrant Metro Bank plans to open 200 new offices in London alone. Veteran Vernon Hill is taking retail service back to its roots with dog bowls, coin counters and Metro man toys.
