The country's longest-serving banking boss occupies a unique vantage point from which to share his insights on a variety of subjects - ranging from Nedbank's recent interim results including the 5% staff reduction and R10bn investment into digitisation; through to the danger of SA's potential greylisting and urgent need to regulate crypto currencies.
