The STIR team is celebrating
London Branch's appointment to the
USD LIBOR panel. Now we
contribute to five of LIBOR's seven
prestigious panels...
The rumour mill has long been specu-
lating that DG-Rl's legal seat would
be the euro-capital, Frankfurt. But as we
go to press, the rumour has yet to be
officially confirmed. While decisions on
the joint venture's future are the hot topic
of the moment, in this first issue of the
millennium we still have a full What's
NewS for you on a whole host of RI
issues. We're extremely deal-oriented,
reporting on suecessful transactions
around the world that are true headline
grabbers. Poland is one topper in this
issue (page 7). We're also reporting on
London Branch's LIBOR coup (page 13)
and giving extensive coverage to develop-
ments at Rabo Securities, which was in
the news recently (pages 11-12).
E-commerce also gets well deserved
attention following the announcement of
vTraction.com - check out page 3 for
more info. One of our main stories covers
Henk Visser's departure to pursue what
he calls the second phase in his career
outside the bank. Check out pages 4
and 5 for his reflections on RI.
In addition to the serious business
of closing deals and launching new
initiatives, we also have a lot of what you
could call bits and pieces - in briefs witli
newsworthy tidbits for your information
on what's happening in the network.
