The gathering storm

This year's Sibos is haunted by the ghosts of Vienna in 2008, when a large chunk of delegates were called back to their home offices to deal with the fall out from the collapse of Lehman Brothers. While (fingers crossed) there are no rumours of crashing banks yet (too much government money floating around now) the most exciting whisper in Hong Kong...
