A day after the Irish-led EU Presidency helped lift #sanctions on two Russian oligarchs, the message seems clear: big money talks. 👉 Don’t be surprised if the oligarchs sweep back into Europe in their PJs to reclaim their châteaux, yachts, mistresses& St Tropez lifestyles.

Thrilled to be back in Tashkent at the Silk Route Finance Forum. ● The debates over IFRS, Basel III and WTO accession - and Uzbekistan’s ambition to become a regional financial hub - feel strikingly familiar. It reminds me of Russia in the late 2000s, before everything changed.
