I am a highly experienced economist and markets practitioner with over thirty years of knowledge and experience gained from working in various top tier financial institutions in both the public and private sectors. I am frequently published throughout the world through, among other things, the regular contributions I make to the financial media. This is done via both written contributions and in front of camera, where I offer key insights into economic and market developments with the aim of bringing both clarity and understanding to what is happening in the markets and the major economies of the world.Previous responsibilities have included taking a lead role in designing the UK market code of conduct adhered to by financial institutions working in the City of London, and closely replicated in other major trading centres around the globe, as well as playing a pivotal role in preparing the City of London for economic and monetary union and the introduction of the euro.I have been published by names such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Bank of England, Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, Global Banking and Finance Review, The Guardian, Inc., and Forbes, and have appeared on TV networks such as Deutsche Welle and Bloomberg Asharq.
