With more than 290 million (and counting) active social media users in Europe, online engagement continues to grow. Seeing that the community on our social media platforms can get very active, at the beginning of 2014 we (the social media team) started thinking how we can take this interaction a step further. Rather than creating something for our community, how can we create something with our community?

One of the guiding principles behind our approach in creating a new website for people across Europe is clear: to make it as easy as possible for users to find the information they want.

And when it comes to language, that's not just about sticking to the web writing guidelines – our task is to construct a site that is adaptable to multiple languages.

SMEs Dance to the Basel III Shuffle

cap structure sme eu.PNG
I often wonder, what if Basel II capital accords had been in place prior to the Great Recession? 
 
Could the devastating crisis fueled by the serial pops of credit bubbles rumbling through the dismal landscape of G20 principalities been avoided with better capital adequacy safeguards? 
 
Could the precious Post Cold War peace dividend been preserved; had the fiduciaries of global solvency not toppled the dominoes of economic prosperity and political stability through extreme selfishness and irratio

ADP Job Report: Recovery Marches On

8028229263?profile=originalPrivate-sector employment increased by 191,000 during the month of March, according to the latest ADP National Employment Report (NER) released yesterday.

SME's Stand Their Ground, Get The Loan

8028226891?profile=originalTerrific piece on SME lending in yesterday's Irish Independent.


More than half of all lending decisions appealed to the Credit Review Office by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are overturned. This is a good lesson for SME's to be persistent in the face of rejection. SME's that can show confidence in their business prospects and demonstrate a creditworthiness can turn a negative decision into a green light. The key to this happy reversal of fortune is being able to provide evidence of creditwo

Intermission on the Stage of World Finance

The G-20 Summit is over and the US has walked away without a major commitment. From the US perspective this has been a failed summit. The remaining G-19 member’s outlook could be interpreting this as a success. Our developed and emerging nations economic partners stood up to the minimum demands of the United States. It will not be the last time this outcome occurs.
As recent calls from various interests for a return to a global gold standard, US quantitative and non-quantitative easing proposals,
