Ready for another episode
I am a
great fan to television series! Dexter, Breaking Bad, 24, Prison Break …. And
what have you … Okay there I said it …..
If you have
the same interest I am sure you know the situation where one episode has just
ended – and you simply cannot wait to start the next one. You simply must know
right now how it all continues.
On this day
I have the same feeling. 2013 is about to end …. And I am desperately looking for
the disc called “2014.”
2013 has
been a great year – and I cannot wait to see what 2014 will bring. From a trade
finance perspective 2013 has been interesting, great, surprising,
confusing (continue the list yourself) …
and so many things may or may not materialise in 2014 … and so many new topics,
twists, questions, discussions and angles will emerge from the energy and
enthusiasm of all the great trade finance specialists around the world.
Let me just
“throw” some topics at you that I am sure will be on the “2014” disc:
* How will
the BPO evolve during 2014?
* Will
multi bank platforms continue to grow – in reach and interest?
* Will the
DOCDEX rules be updated – and will that increase the interest in this Dispute
Resolution mechanism?
* Will the
issue of “commercial weight” continue to haunt us?
* Will
lcviews grow?
* Will
there be a void after DCInsight has published its last issue? How to fill it?
* Is it
possible still to come up with new LC questions?
… and again
… continue the list yourself!
It is
indeed a never-ending list – and personally I am eager to see how these and
other issues evolve – and do the best I can to help them evolve in a good
direction. I.e. a direction where the mantra is “good banking practice” …
That will
be my mantra in 2014.
I hope that
you will join me.
I thank you
deeply for your support during 2013 – and wish you and your loved ones a Happy
New Year!
And do not
forget to take care of each other and the LC.
Best
regards
Kim
