It had been my dream for many year now! A majestic library to store all my books. After a lot of design, planing and book carrying ... its here. More exactly it has been there for several months, but I had not reported on it. Two-storey, seven meters wide, five meter high, an embedded desk and a glass platform...

Commenting on the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book

The comments made to the consultative paper are in principle public. The comments may be published on the BIS website.

The link to my comments can be found at the bottom of this blog. Don’t hesitate to comment of my comments! The main items in my comments are: Curves node
