Welcome to FN Weekend, a Friday smörgåsbord of the best news, features and opinion that you may have missed from us this week — you can sign up to receive this newsletter via email below.

I'm Fareed Sahloul. I run the daily news and website here at FN which means I (was strong-armed into) jumped at the chance of putting my name to this email. From my virtual perch in the newsroom I see it all, working with FN's journalists on everything from M&A mandates to Mifid II minutiae (which makes me super fun at parties).
