Custody continues to have
great potential and Euromoney's new Global Custody Handbook is an invaluable guide to the
ways in which the custody industry is developing on an international scale. Issues such as
clearing and settlement and the G30 recommendations together with a series of country
reviews are examined by a select consortium of experts from the industry, making essential
reading for anyone involved in global custody. The inclusive directory lists over 500
contacts. Over 450 individual contacts are listed from a diverse range of global banks,
featuring individual telephone/fax numbers and e-mail addresses for the relevant
personnel. The directory also includes a number of leading central securities
depositories, providing the reader with accurate and up-to-date information on the leading
global and regional securities providers.
