Annexes: chronology, glossary and statistical reference points — a part of the book Basel as an International Financial Centre by Dr Alexander Ressos.
The three annexes gather reference material that supports the reading of the eleven Parts of this book. The Chronology lists events from the Celtic settlement at the Rhine knee to the autumn of 2026. The Glossary English–German–French explains the principal legal and financial terms, while the Statistical Reference Points collect key figures on the city, its institutions and its markets. Dates and figures follow the main text.
