2015 has been filled with a number of developments regarding key industry personnel, instigated in large part by the shifting atmosphere of the foreign Exchange (FX) realm, that was convulsed earlier this year after a snap Swiss National Bank (SNB) decision.

Since then, leading investment banks as well as brokers have been busy shuffling key positions and veterans in hopes of maximizing efficiency and profits, and in some instances stabilizing their business. H2 2015 also saw the rapid withering of operations out of one of the world's financial capitals, London, with Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered, among others, cutting their respective workforces by thousands.

The graphic below includes some of the highest profile storylines and interviews from 2015.
