  • Canadian bank CIBC has built up a good track record in the US since developing an investment-banking strategy in the early 1990s. Now it's consolidating its position south of the 49th parallel by merging with New York firm Oppenheimer. Michelle Celarier reports.
  • Takumi Shibata has long been considered among the most brilliant of Nomura's rising stars. "He's without doubt one of the most able at the bank," says one British banker who has known him since 1988. "Analytical, decisive, and absolutely the right man considering Nomura's strategy of giving the international business such a large sway within the firm."
  • Blue Flag, the regulatory database developed by Linklaters, is the benchmark by which all capital-markets law firms should be judged, says Christopher Stoakes.
  • Ask Michael Byungju Kim about his formative experience as an investment banker and his mind jumps back to New York almost 12 years ago. He had just joined Goldman Sachs out of college and was watching while a senior partner flicked through his pitchbook. "The partner had red braces, a guy at his feet shining his shoes, and was talking to a client on the phone. Meanwhile he was making red marks all over my pitch and punching holes in my analysis and finding holes in my argument," recalls Kim.

  • Nothing is ever quite what it seems in Thailand, as ING Bank learnt the hard way recently. A main board director flew from Amsterdam late last year to have lunch, shake hands and return smiles with executives at Thailand's eighth-largest bank, Siam City Bank (SCIB). A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed under which ING would buy a 10% stake in the Thai-listed bank for Bt1.32 billion ($30 million) as part of a recapitalization.
  • Cars and washing machines yes, financial services, no. Finanzplatz Frankfurt can't yet offer home-made products and services - lawyers, accountants, printers - to replace those coming out of London and the US. Time isn't on its side. Once the Deutschmark disappears it will have little edge over Paris, Amsterdam or London. In a country where bank staff aren't allowed to work on public holidays, one thing Frankfurt needs less of is regulation. Laura Covill reports.
  • Swashbuckling Swiss Bank Corp is plundering Union Bank of Switzerland as if it were a captured Spanish galleon. But is it taking the right people? And has UBS got something to teach the number-crunchers about relationship banking? David Shirreff reports.
  • Euro-gigantism
  • When president Ernesto Zedillo appointed his finance secretary, Guillermo Ortiz, to head the central bank for the next six years, tongues wagged. In Mexico, political pundits speculated endlessly about the reasons Zedillo would overlook the most obvious choice for the position, the eminently qualified central bank vice governor Francisco Gill Diaz, and sacrifice the most vital member of his cabinet.
