1. What is the impact of the new Economic Substance regime on clients, on structures, on the IFCs?

And secondly, if they are not able to put substance in their offshore entities, then they’re starting to look at whether they need to shift out from the offshore jurisdictions and shift to onshore jurisdictions such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and so on. So, I mean, we're seeing a lot of work on that. It's driven by, obviously, the OECD trends, but clearly it has a global impact.
