Summary
ASIA IN BRIEF The Down Under outpost of consultancy EY has fired two staff after they allegedly accessed details about bank accounts held by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Local media report that the pair were employees of the artist formerly known as Ernst and Young, which used them to work on a contract for Australia’s Commonwealth Bank where they allegedly accessed details of the PM’s bank account. The Bank isn’t commenting on the matter, so isn’t saying how a pair of contractors were able to access such sensitive information. The incident means all four members of the so-called Big Four consultancies are in the doghouse down under. South Korea last week announced record monthly exports of over $100 billion, thanks largely to inflated memory prices meaning huge sales for Samsung and SK Hynix.
