  • Luxembourg was in at the start of European unity and is as committed to it as ever. But the things that have made the Grand Duchy great - tax advantages, strict banking secrecy, the Luxfranc bond market and the absence of minimum bank reserve requirements - look likely to be swept away by the tide of EU harmonization. Philip Eade reports on Luxembourgeois bankers' bullishness in the face of adversity

  • It's a good time to be a Eurobond trader. European banks such as Deutsche Morgan Grenfell and SBC Warburg are beefing up their trading rooms and are prepared to double or treble the earnings of top traders to bring them on board. But just how talented are the traders jumping ship for such high sums? Ronan Lyons reports.
  • After months of delays, the New York Federal Reserve Bank is close to approving Swiss Bank Corp's merger with SG Warburg in the US.
