Last days

These last three months I have been working at the ABN AMRO bank in Amsterdam on a project relating to the break-up of Holland's erstwhile largest bank. The bank was bought by RBS, Fortis and Banco Santander, who have been dividing up the spoils this last year. As Fortis will now be the largest bank in Holland, the European Commission decided it had to sell part of ABN AMRO in order to create a new competitor. Consequently, part of ABN AMRO has been hived off and sold to Deutsche Bank. I have been involved in monitoring the clients of the part that has been sold. It has been a great couple of months, but I am looking forward to focussing on Suriname and the projects there.
