  • 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.

Cross-selling of products is a controversial issue as are compensation systems. Even office environments are a total contrast. Says one investment banker: "Nothing has really changed here. That's the way people like it." It may be 10 years before we can judge these mergers' success or failure. By Michelle Celarier.
  • Despite the upheaval in Asia, investment bankers expect a near-record number of privatizations and IPOs in Europe and the US this year. By Nigel Dudley
