I just discovered, from a friend who works in a prominent position at a prominent bank, that the government of Malaysia outsources the Bank of Malaysia to [this prominent bank].

Interesting: the argument against outsourcing is often, that it move jobs from our country to their country. But an interesting reversal has happened: their governments tend to be so corrupt, that the governments don't trust themselves with money, so they outsource managing the money to us!

The beauty of unintended consequences.
