ZANZIBAR – Here’s an odd prediction for the coming year: 2013 will be a watershed for financial reform. True, while the global financial crisis erupted more than four years ago, and the Dodd-Frank financial reforms were adopted in the United States back in 2010, not much has changed about how Wall Street operates – except that the large firms have become bigger and more powerful.
桑给巴尔—新一年有老预言：2013年将是金融改革的分水岭之年。诚然，尽管全球金融危机爆发已逾四年，美国的多德-弗兰克金融改革也在2010年便被通过，但华尔街的运作方式并没有什么变化——除了大公司变得更大、更有权势之外。但仍有不少理由期待新的一年中会有真正的进步。
