  • When a top Malaysian bank revealed its losses in March, the country was stunned. The suicidal lending of Sime Bank undermined the government's claim that Asia's problems were not Malaysia's problems. The country was just as stunned when top financier Rashid Hussain stepped in to buy the troubled bank. Steven Irvine reports.
  • Ewa Wisniewska, the new president of Poland's largest bank, has her work cut out for her. On one side of the modern office tower in mid-town Warsaw where she works, there is a large sign that says "Bank Pekao SA"; on the other, the sign says "Grupa (Group) Pekao SA".
  • Charles Harman's arrival at his new job with Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (DLJ) in December was the latest step in a career that has seen him rise rapidly through the ranks of investment banks focusing on central Europe and Russia.
  • 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.
  • A ruling by a court in Denver, Colorado, threatened to frustrate all the Wharf group's dealings with US banks. US firms may be entitled to seek redress from their own courts - even if the dispute is on the other side of the globe - but to Hong Kongers this seems like US imperialism. Steven Irvine reports.
  • Despite the current signs of relief in Japanese and other Asian financial markets, deflationary forces in the region are set to grow. That will force the US and Japan to signal the end of the Asian crisis with a new global policy framework and massive fiscal stimulus in Japan. Investors should prepare for a policy reversal.
  • 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.
  • Hong Kong's premier sporting event, the Rugby Sevens, solved its sponsorship quandary last month. Credit Suisse First Boston has taken over the role from the now bankrupt Peregrine.
  • Privatization of Latin America's utilities has thrown up plenty of investment opportunities. Buyers need to finance not only the purchase but also capital expenditure - especially after years of underinvestment. Both have been affected by the Asian crisis. As general uncertainty about emerging markets persists, there are also concerns about the state of the all-important domestic US capital markets. James Rutter reports.
  • Deal: Trade sale
  • After many false starts, the slow train of Indian privatization is picking up speed. Whichever parties form the next government, the sale of state assets will continue. By Kala Rao.
  • It would be comforting to portray the intense and speedy negotiations by which international commercial banks and Korean government officials staved off a default in that country as the turning point in the Asian crisis [see cover story, this issue: Korea stares into the abyss]. Indeed, there was much to note and praise in that effort, not least the way in which certain of the largest American banks lived up to the best traditions of leadership in such debt crises.
