Future of the EU

The seemingly inevitable Brexit and election results on the continent have created a new political dynamic in the European Union. Combined with strong economic performance of the Eurozone, this makes for interesting times for Europa. What can we expect?

Financial markets

The financial sector is still dealing with the after effects of the great financial crisis, whilst new challenges are already right in front of us. How will markets respond to tapering, wat will new technology bring, where can the next bubbles be expected to bust? 

Financial sector

Modern society will assess the integrity of the financial system, its institutes and its players much more critical than in the past. Are you up for the challenge? Are your hard and soft controls in place? And what about the culture; has it changed?
