This is the first issue of The BCC International for 1984. It precedes the annual management conference to be held in Vienna in February. An article on Vienna gives a brief historical background to the city that has been a centre of action and genius for many centuries.

The article on Hong Kong represents the mood of BCC at the start of '84. The Hong Kong operation is merging with the rest of BCC in name and in spirit with a visible expression supporting the firm foundation already established within the invisible. The newly-named BCC Hong Kong is a truly international bank.

BCC's corporate philosophy continues to evolve. 'Humility' is a statement of profound significance about the nature of BCC.
