The Business - 22/02/2009

Graham Stewart brings you the stories and issues making the news in business. BBC Scotland's business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser, looks ahead to a big week in banking as RBS and Lloyds TSB prepare to unveil their annual results. And what will plans by RBS to sell-off at least a fifth of its business mean for Scottish jobs? Katherine Garrett-Cox, chief executive of Alliance Trust - Scotland's fifth largest plc - tells Douglas Fraser why taking the top job at the asset management company's Dundee headquarters was a good move. Paper making has a proud history in Scotland but, as Gillian Sharpe reports, it's future is looking wafer thin after one of the country's last mills - International Paper of Inverurie - closes with the loss of 350 jobs. And Magnus Bennett visits Iceland to find out how the caretaker government is attempting to recover from the nation's spectacular banking crash.
