DBS Bank's CEO has stated the bank will be shedding 4000 jobs in the coming years due to rising use of AI. While the bank is keen to stress that they will be in temporary or contract roles, is this a sign of things to come in the banking sector? www.thebanker.com/content/36fb...

The Reserve Bank of India has postponed the implementation of new LCR rules for banks with mobile and internet platforms. I look at why they made this decision, and even when implemented if it could save a bank from an SVB-style outflow www.thebanker.com/content/db60...

A lot going on at the moment in one way or another but fulfilled a life goal and took my mum to see Paul McCartney last night. 2.5 hours! Absolute joy from a man who knows where Broadgreen Road is

Do any cat owners have any suggestions for drugs to give the cat before I attempt to get him into his carry case next weekend? I’ve tried the gentle parenting approach and that resulted in a 15 minute battle, bloodshed and bruises for me
