Interesting Reads: End of October

Here some interesting articles I found this week:

FT: Chinese banks flee London to avoid tough regulation of their business, moving to Luxembourg.
WSJ: Spanish region Catalonia has been the engine of the countries economy. Call for independence intensives. A move we can see in different countries as well (Scotland-UK; North Italy-Italy; Flanders-Belgium).

In German (sorry):
BZ: Record high in suspected money laundering in German, esp. in the real estate sector.
FTD: Germans keep their cash very liquid, deleting long-term deposits. Parallels to the dot-com crash?
WSJD: Failed broker MF Global lost total oversight of its financial situation well before  its 700 million disaster.
