Article 50: The end of safe havens for investors?
A lot is being written in the daily press about the immediate financial consequences of the triggering of Article 50. Depending on which source you use and at what time of the day a short piece has been written and posted online, the sterling seems to be rocketing or plummeting, retreating or correcting from a steep drop. The narrative is similar when people are trying to connect Article 50 with the current path of the FTSE 100 or when contemplating on the immediate implications for businesses in the UK. Most of this is just clutter.
New faculty members welcomed
This academic year the ICMA Centre is very pleased to welcome three new members of faculty – Dr Nadia Kappou, Ogonna Nneji and Miriam Marra.
