Bilbao

I went to Bilbao last week to visit one of the head offices of BBVA and talk with the guys responsible for interest rate risk reporting. We looked together at a proposal on sanitizing the model using current QRM functionality. I am very happy about what has been proposed, as it is in line with wat I consider best practices in setting up QRM. These guys know what they are doing and I am happy to be a part of it for the next couple of months. Coming weeks it will be time to implement the suggestions made, probably moving back and forth between el ciudad and Bilbao.

Meanwhile it is time to find something more permanent to stay. I’ve got my eyes set on the barrio I am currentl in, which is the Almagro area. Well situated near line 10 which I need to commute somehwat decently, not so much in the center as to cause sleepless nights but enough to be able to go out for a beer or food if I feel like it.
