But "we'll be better off in the longer term. We're betting on an upturn in these economies."
  • The development of Chile's domestic securitization market is gathering pace, with half a dozen transactions in the pipeline following the groundbreaking deal launched in January by Transa Securitizadora. As Euromoney went to press, Transa was about to launch a second offering, consisting of $9.7 million of notes backed by mortgage loans.

Antony Currie explains why.
  • Sweden's participation in Emu is primarily dependent on domestic politics. Generally speaking, public opinion is negative on Emu and the governing Social Democratic Party (SDP) is deeply split. For this reason we do not expect Sweden to participate in Emu from the outset in 1999.
  • Wall Street is competing with an 800-pound gorilla. That's the label attached to Chase as it wrestles investment banking mandates from traditional players.

  • Yann Gindre became an instant celebrity last summer - but not for reasons entirely of his own choosing. When most high-rolling Euromarketeers were lying on tropical beaches or on their private yachts, Gindre became the centre of a tug-of-war, as senior executives at BZW in London jockeyed for position following the arrival of Robert Diamond from Credit Suisse First Boston as BZW's new fixed-income supremo.
