The Finance Dublin Yearbook

The Finance Dublin Yearbook of Ireland's International Financial Services Industry 2009

Click here to order your copy.

Belying fears of a ‘meltdown’, IFSC job numbers held up in 2008 with only a small drop in job numbers in the IFSC from 25,058 at the end of December 2007, to 24,906 at end December 2008 according to the 2009 Finance Dublin Yearbook Annual Employment Survey. This fall of 152 jobs, or 0.6 per cent, follows growth of 1,901 in 2007, and 4,061 in 2006.

The 2008 Yearbook showed that the IFSC enjoyed a strong employment growth in 2007, as the sector created 1,901 net new jobs, according to the annual Yearbook Employment survey. Total employment in the three core sectors of banking, funds and insurance stood at over 25,000 at end December 2007, up by over 8 per cent from 23,156 on December 2006. The figures have been compiled annually since 2003 in a survey conducted by Finance Dublin of all Irish international financial services companies.

The Finance Dublin Yearbook & Directory of the IFSC 2009 (16th edition) incorporates the following features: a review of all companies in the IFSC and profiles and contact details of the state and industry bodies responsible for promoting, regulating and representing the financial centre; Directory entries for companies feature milestone highlights of their history during the years since they were established. The 2009 Yearbook provides a comprehensive database of all the trading international financial services companies in the Republic of Ireland. It is a continuously up to date information resource of Ireland's international financial services industry at a time when such information is being increasingly sought after, given the increased interest worldwide in the provenance and standing of financial services companies domiciled in or regulated in Ireland.

The 2009 publication provides comprehensive listings of the Irish and international regulatory frameworks of all IFSC and Irish international financial services entities. The updated information for the 2009 publication began to appear online during January 2009, and the print edition is also available.

The 2009 Yearbook is sponsored by: Bank of Ireland, KPMG, Ernst & Young, IDA Ireland, Deloitte, Invest Northern Ireland and State Street International.

Special Reports

FINANCE Deals of the Year 2009

The past year saw a number of "firsts", all testimony to the innovation and creativity that is to be found in Ireland’s financial sector. In the past year, landmark transactions in Ireland include rearranging SIV structures, the winner of this year’s ‘Securitisation Deal of the Year’ and WestLB’s asset deal, this year’s ‘Most Innovative Deal of the Year’. Both of these involved novel solutions pointing the way forward for a development of the banking business model in the IFSC. It was the hardest year deal-wise in living memory, and those deals that did make it over the line were, by definition, exceptional. We raise our glasses to them!

Conferences

The Third Annual Global Financial Services Centres Conference 2010

will take place in

Dublin Castle, Dublin, Ireland

April 27th & April 28th 2010

Changing business models, the changed regulatory and taxation landscape and the implications for international financial services centres.

Financial centres, both large and small, face unprecedented uncertainty as regulatory and tax reforms are planned.

Business models in banking, securities distribution, funds and insurance have been revised, challenged, and in some cases completely re-written. The implications for financial centres and the institutions doing business in those centres is examined by leading drivers of the global agenda.

Sweeping reforms to financial regulation are coming, alongside new measures to control tax havens, regulatory blacklists of financial centres, and measures to rein in shadow banking systems - all part of a continuing response of Governments to the credit crisis, including the governments of the US, the UK, Germany and France.
