The market is being kept frantically busy by the high level of trading in early 2003. And they now have another job on their hands courtesy of those pesky EuroWeek journalists who this week began visiting various desks so that they could pitch for its MTN and CP awards, which are to be presented in April. The market's new borrowers have an easier task, however, as Leak would like to announce that it is open to sweeteners. Previous attempts at bribing the less-than-incorruptible MTN team included Diageo's case of beer sent to the old MTNWeek office following its programme signing.

EuroWeek hears that two UK-based financial institutions will tap the loan market soon to refinance existing facilities. Two loans which fall due soon are a £25m five year revolver for Leek United Building Society arranged by Lloyds in 1998 and a $70m five year revolver for Standard Bank arranged by Deutsche Bank and SG in 1998.

There's nothing like a few days on the piste to get rid of the tensions of life. So we were pleased to pass a few days - unnoticed of course - with our friends from Lehman at their annual splash on the ski slopes of Méribel. A quiet whoosh down the slopes followed by après ski at Jack's Bar, opposite the ice rink. Tonton's favourite: pints of Mutzig and toffee vodka chasers.
