Beer then wine is fine, wine then beer, ‘oh dear’ goes the saying. Yesterday, lager pricing after those fine vintages.

No UK government — of multiple political persuasions, has managed to balance the books in 25 years.
The UK is spending more than £100 billion a year ($130+ billion) on servicing debt: this is more than the UK spends on education or defence.
AFM Trends Day
In Taipei for the AFM Conference, we’re excited to announce the official launch of AFM Malta Trends Day — watch the launch here.
As AFM members, we agreed last year to expand the recent Tech Days into a broader format. Thus AFM Trends Day launches this November in the magnificent historic city of Valletta, Malta.
A key theme is simple: how do emerging markets, emerge?
Malta is the proof point. In 1970, Malta’s GDP per capita was around $828. Today, World Bank data puts it at $43,899 — higher than South Korea and a whisker behind France ($46,103). That is not merely growth. A small jurisdiction has become a high-income European economy and a serious international platform where in the post war era it was a net exporter of human capital to Australia, the UK and elsewhere.

That is why AFM Trends Day will focus on the trends that matter: market structure, clearing resilience, technology, digital assets, sustainability-linked products and the practical choices that build credible markets.
See you in Valletta November 12–13… registration now open.
