In this special edition to commemorate The Banker's 90-year history, we look back at past editions to discover both what has changed and what has stayed the same in the world of banking. Our special 90th anniversary edition also contains comment from leading figures of the financial world and we also announce our central bank governors and finance ministers of the year.

We explore of the most exciting areas of finance, social impact investing - and conclude that this is a revolution in the making. With Chinese outward investing now surpassing inward investing, we look at the range of Chinese investments in the UK and we rank the top 100 banks in Africa.
