Foreign Exchange

And the winner is...

I’d like to say that I was absolutely inundated with answers to my little Christmas quiz. I’d like to, but I can’t. I can only think that this must be because of the retiring and shy nature of those active in the FX market and their reluctance to see their name in lights. Worse, I’m disappointed I didn’t get any correct answers sent in from warm and sunny climes, such as Sydney – I was rather looking forward to a lunch down under.

Almaty: A new Canary Wharf rises from the Steppes

Car parks that rival Monaco for the quality of the marques, apartment prices that rival those in New York, but a stock exchange capitalization of only $50 billion. That’s Almaty. Kazakhstan’s government hopes to develop its capital markets and create a financial centre there for all central Asia. The buildings are going up. Will there be enough tenants to fill them? Chloe Hayward reports from Almaty.

Now, as Japan’s economic recovery creates new millionaires and wealthy baby boomers prepare to retire, several foreign firms are trying again to crack this difficult but lucrative market. Lawrence White went to Tokyo to ask their CEOs what it takes to succeed in private banking in Japan.
