It is a pleasure to be back in the City. Twenty years ago, I started my first proper job here, as a credit analyst - remember that quaint role? at an investment bank - remember those archaic institutions? I came to London then because it appeared poised to realize the promise of market-based finance and to reassume its role at the centre of global finance. Today, I come to London, when so many are burying markets, to praise them and set out some thoughts on how to make them more robust.
