  • 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.
  • Frankfurt's capital markets brokers have endured a constant squeeze on their commissions. And banks don't like them trying to swell their income by adding advisory services or touting downstream for clients. But the fierce competition leaves them with little alternative. A few of them have decided it's do or die, but tact is needed. Laura Covill reports.
  • Less than a year ago a damaging scandal over payments to Japanese gangsters by senior officials at Nomura Securities suddenly propelled a little-known and comparatively young executive, Junichi Ujiie, to the office of president and chief executive. There he took on the task of stamping out corruption and modernizing management at Japan's largest securities firm.
  • Japan's public are howling for more blood as scandal after scandal rocks Tokyo's bureaucratic elite. Practices silently condoned for years have hit the headlines. The biggest loser is the once-mighty ministry of finance which may no longer call the shots on fiscal and monetary policy, or parachute its old boys into bank chairmanships. Andrew Horvat reports
  • What more proof could there be that banking stays in the blood? After a five-year stint as chairman of the UK's Securities & Investments Board (SIB), Sir Andrew Large is returning to the coal face by becoming Sir Peter Middleton's replacement as deputy chairman at Barclays.
  • With markets so volatile, how is Caspian Securities, the world's only investment bank dedicated solely to emerging markets, coping with the situation? Fine, according to its founder and chief, Christopher Heath. But others are less sure, especially in the wake of Peregrine's fall.
  • 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.
  • Journalists are a pretty useless bunch who drink too much and should be kept at arm's length. That's a view many people in the markets openly or secretly harbour. Not Dresdner RCM Global Investors.
  • Korea stares into the abyss
  • Euro-gigantism
  • The tough route to quality
  • Brazil's investment banks are engaged in their own distribution build-up a mini-version of the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Salomon Smith Barney megamergers in the US. Banco Bozano Simonsen has purchased the retail bank Meridional in a privatization auction and Banco Pactual has bought Sistema, a Sao Paulo commercial bank which ran into trouble. Both banks say they are looking to make further purchases.
