StanChart stays in the billionaire club

It’s a bit of a funny bank, Standard Chartered. Even those who work there have been heard to joke about how their peers dismiss it as a niche Asian player. But revenge is sweet.

But if perceptions change slowly, there can be no lingering doubt that the bank is serious player in FX with the release of its results for 2008.
