Anglo Swiss Chamber of Commerce Event
Wednesday, 12th March 2008, Geneva (Geneva Chapter)
Luncheon addressed by The Earl of Home CVO CBE, Chairman of RBS Coutts Bank LtdIs Big Beautiful?
Size matters! This notion may be put to the test sooner than we think in these early years of the 21st century. The economies of huge countries like China and India take on a new significance and, according to some forecasts, may soon even overtake modern economic giants like the USA, Japan and the European Union.
But what size is viable? And on what does it depend? Is Scotland, for example, too small to be in Europe? Is Citigroup too big? Is Europe too big?
These and other fascinating questions will be addressed by a speaker of considerable business experience who leads one of the great names in British banking. He is also an active member of the House of Lords whose public speeches are widely acknowledged for their eloquence and wit.
He is the scion of one of the leading families in Scotland and the son of the late British Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home. He inherited the title of the 15th Earl of Home in 1995. Lord Home was appointed Chairman of Coutts & Co in 1999 and became Chairman of Coutts Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. a year later. He is also a director of Douglas & Angus Estates in Scotland and Governor of the Ditchley Foundation in England.
