This is our second edition of the Credit Derivatives Weekly Collector. The past year was a corner year with dramatic changes. We kept commenting on these changes with our focus on credit derivatives and credit markets.

There are many people to thank and acknowledge starting with our partners and our clients. Our thoughts also rely on a rich and diverse ecosystem of independent and original thinkers in economics, finance, social policies, and academics, among others. Bringing them together is not always easy, and we hope that a collective realisation will emerge this year, letting dissenting voices finally express themselves. As any open society should do.
