World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the number of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) had doubled over the past week to total 62 cases. Thirty-five of the patients infected with Ebola have died, including seven health care workers. The Ebola outbreak in the DRC is separate from the worsening Ebola crisis in West Africa. All of the cases in the DRC are localized in Jeera country and can all be traced to one initial case that was reported on August 26th. The new statistics for the Ebola outbreak in the DRC were posted here. On September 11th, Liberian Finance Minister Amara Konneh held a press conference on the impacts of the Ebola outbreak in Liberia, warning that the country is at war with an enemy that it cannot see. Minister Konneh’s remarks echo those delivered last week by Liberian Defense Minister Brownie Samukai, who cautioned that the Ebola crisis poses a serious threat to Liberia’s national existence. Both ministers reported that the epidemic has disrupted the country’s ability to function normally and put further strains on Liberia’s already weak health care infrastructure. Excerpts from both press conferences were highlighted here.

  • The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT)
    The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) This book traces the history and development of a mutual organization in the financial sector called SWIFT, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. Over the last 40 years, SWIFT has served the financial services sector as proprietary communications platform, provider of products and services, standards developer, and conference organizer (Sibos). Founded to create efficiencies by replacing telegram and telex (or “wires”) for international payments, SWIFT now forms a core part of the financial services infrastructure. It is widely regarded as the most secure trusted third-party network in the world serving 212 countries and over 10,000 banking organizations, securities institutions, and corporate customers. Through every phase of its development, SWIFT has maintained the status of indus- try cooperative, thus presenting an opportunity to study broader themes of globaliza- tion and governance in the financial services sector. In this book the authors focus on how the design and current state of SWIFT were influenced by its historical origins, presenting a comprehensive account in a succinct form which provides an informative guide to the history, structure, activities, and future challenges of this key international organization. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars in a wide range of fields including IPE, comparative political economy, international economics, busi- ness studies, and business history. Susan V. Scott is a Reader in the Information Systems and Innovation Group, Department of Management, at The London School of Economics and Political Science. She received a Ph.D. from the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge.

  • The Fintech Opportunity for Sydney
    Unlocking the potential: The Fintech opportunity for Sydney October 2014 Unlocking the potential: the Fintech opportunity for Sydney Foreword from the Deputy Premier Sydney’s position as Australia’s financial services powerhouse is set to move up a gear. The convergence of digital and financial sector strengths and growing global recognition of the city’s role as a key financial hub for the Asia Pacific are fuelling Sydney’s fast emergence as one of the world’s most exciting new financial centres. The NSW Government has recognised this opportunity and is working with businesses and researchers to improve collaboration and knowledge sharing across the NSW financial services industry. We are supporting the establishment of an industry-led Knowledge Hub for financial services to create a new platform for collaboration, to enhance productivity and innovation, build capabilities, and identify market opportunities. With an improved culture of innovation and collaboration between government, industry and research, we have the potential to provide fresh insights for NSW businesses to help them build sustainable long term competitive advantages. The Financial Services Knowledge Hub, coordinated by the Committee for Sydney, aims to capitalise on this by positioning the NSW financial services industry for new markets, new opportunities, new capabilities and global growth. This report provides some specific insights into the rapidly developing market for financial services technology or Fintech, and it will help to inform the activities of the Financial Services Knowledge Hub. Fintech presents a fantastic opportunity for Sydney as a leading financial services and technology hub for Australia and the Asia Pacific. I commend the Committee for Sydney for commissioning this highly relevant research, and for its important ongoing role in driving growth and innovation with the Financial Services Knowledge Hub.

  • What Can Banks Expect at Sibos This Year?
    SIBOS 2018 What can banks expect at Sibos this year? We look at some of the critical issues and developments confronting financial institutions (FIs) that will be discussed at SWIFT’s annual conference in Sydney, Australia, this year By Foo Boon Ping The ratcheting up of trade tension between China and the US from the imposition of increasingly severe unilateral and retaliatory tariffs is a major concern. How will it impact the flow of trade and commerce globally and what collateral impact will it have on businesses and companies, including financial services and banks? We invited Faisal Ameen, Head of Asia Pacific Global Transaction Services, Bank of America Merrill Lynch; Arnon Goldstein, Regional Head, Relationship Management – APAC, BNY Mellon Treasury Services; and Nancy So, Head of Institutional Cash Sales and Client Management, Asia Pacific, Deutsche Bank, to share their views on how recent developments are expected to impact FIs in Asia Pacific. 1. How are Asian FIs faring overall this year? How big of an impact has the growing trade row between the US and China had on your customers and you in region? Certainly the current trade negotiations are a top Trade disputes, are disruptive by nature, especially Globally, trade has continued to slow. Emerging concern for our clients, since many of them have to the targeted markets – so any sustained dispute markets have come under recent pressure amid operations spanning different geographies and any and the accompanying disruption to either the US a combination of tighter US monetary policy, changes in the markets could have a large impact and Chinese economies will have knock-on impact in idiosyncratic risks, and the continuing US-China trade on their businesses.
