The Banker is an English-language monthly international financial affairs publication owned by The Financial Times Ltd. and edited in London, United Kingdom. The magazine was first published in January 1926 through founding editor Brendan Bracken of the Financial News, who went on to become the chairman of the Financial Times from 1945 to 1958.[2]
Since its founding, the magazine has claimed a dedication to the international perspective through features, interviews, multi-media applications, and events. The Banker is the world’s premier banking and finance resource, read in over 120 countries and is the key source of data and analysis for the industry. It combines in-depth regional and country coverage with reports on global financial markets, regulation and policy, cash management and securities services, commodities and carbon finance, infrastructure and project finance, trading and technology, clearing and settlement, and management and governance issues.[3]
