1 February 2012 | Plus ça change - by David Bryan of BM&T Silver Sponsors of TMA (UK)

As we approach the end of 2011 we have been living with banking problems, recession and Eurozone problems for over three years. There are few days when there isn’t another dramatic headline regarding a financial or economic problem. But is this constant flood of bad news making us all a bit punch drunk? Are business leaders thinking “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose”?

What better theme could we have for our 10th annual conference than ‘Turnaround ... Stakeholders Working Together’?

23 January 2012 | Trade and Credit Insurance

After a very difficult 2009, the market stabilised in 2010 and entered 2011 showing signs of improvement. With the situation more stable, late 2010 and early 2011 saw an increased appetite for risk among insurers and moves to stimulate demand and improve revenues. More competitive premiums were seen and previously withdrawn cover was gradually restored. In addition there was a significant change in the way business is done. Reliance on out of date statutory accounts is being replaced by insurers having access to management accounts and forecasts and a dialogue with management enabling them to make more informed decisions. Greater policy flexibility is also being seen.

19 January 2012 | TMA in the World - Continuing progress in International development

International growth is a TMA key strategic objective. With nearly 2000 members outside of North America including over 1,000 in Europe, there is a particular focus on both International Chapters’ internal growth and the addition of new Chapters. International membership is currently increasing at over 20% per year and it is not out of the question that numbers outside of North America will match North American membership within a few years. TMA is one of a very few genuine cross border professional organisations and is an important vehicle for spreading the development of best practice restructuring practice in the global economy. Given the developments in sovereign debt risk which we face such growth is both timely and much needed.

Reflecting on the events of the last 6 months I am pleased to see that we now finally have a government that is prepared to deal with Britain’s structural deficit and an acknowledgment that we can no longer afford to grow our economy on credit! But boy have they got a lot of work to do, and it will really test Dave and Nick’s newly formed coalition love in. Let’s hope it survives their honeymoon.

At some point interest rates will start to lift off. One thing is certain - change is a constant. By the time this article will be read we will have a change in government. the international community will assess if the new government has the resolve to drive the UK debt levels down."
