Foreign Banks: The Long Wait To Continue

The fact remains that no other country allows foreign banks to set up shop like we do

He added: “if you (foreign banks) adopt a wholly-owned subsidiaries (WoS) structure, we will allow you near national treatment”.  But it’s the use of the words “near national treatment”, and the caveat he added “reciprocity: your country should allow the same to our own banks”, that matters..........
