  • 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.
  • A few have already. For inter-dealer brokers, the expansion of electronic dealing and a hiccup in derivatives activity have, at best, necessitated refocusing and downsizing. Only those with special expertise and those that dominate a niche will emerge stronger from the changes. Stephanie Cooke reports
  • After eight years as Belgium's finance minister, Philippe Maystadt is said to be the leading candidate to replace Michel Camdessus as director of the International Monetary Fund in Washington. Those who know him well think he may stay to win Belgium a place in European monetary union.
  • Did Nikolaus Senn, chairman of the embattled Union Bank of Switzerland, seize a merger proposal from CS chairman Rainer Gut and use it as a crude weapon against his bitterest enemy and major shareholder Martin Ebner? Here's the story whose climax a third of all Zurich inhabitants watched on television. But will it have a happy ending? And who pairs off with whom? David Shirreff reports
  • Since taking charge of CS First Boston in 1993, Allen Wheat has done much to improve the firm's profitability. The payoff for employees was supposed to be a fairer allocation of bonuses.

By Steven Irvine

  • Inside London's St Paul's Tavern, Billy Whitbread sups his first pint. He thinks it highly hopped and attenuated - a process whereby you get as much alcohol out of the sugar solution as possible. "It's Gales or Pedigree," he concludes, verging finally on the former, because Pedigree "has more of an effect on my head".
  • A special report prepared by Merita Bank
  • No-one believes that investment bank research is fully independent. As competition and costs escalate, the pressure on analysts to hawk deals and withhold negative views is intensifying. While some analysts get rich in the new environment, many have quit, and investors have turned to their own and third-party research. Michelle Celarier reports.
  • It's a jungle out here, so truly I may just as well be in the office, but Ken signals me to find a few days and come out to join him, he is here in Zimbabwe on one of the overseas fact-finding visits which he sets up whenever he runs low on duty free cheroots, and now it seems he needs advice, or rather he has more advice than he requires but he wants mine.
