Kurdish MP's say yes to independence vote

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Kurdish MP's say yes to independence vote

The Iraqi Kurdish parliament has voted to back an independence referendum

Is independence really on the cards? Fergus Nicholl puts this question to veteran Middle East analyst, Hazer Temourian, who knows the Kurdish leadership well. Also in the programme, Beijing orders a ban on initial coin offerings leading to four of China's Bitcoin exchanges to announce they will stop trading. Simon Taylor co-founder of 11FS consultancy, which advises banks and governments, explains why this matters. The auditing firm KPMG has replaced its entire leadership team in South Africa. Verashni Pillay of Power 987 in Johannesburg contemplates, how big was the clean-out at the top? Business Matter is also joined for comment throughout by Peter Ryan, the ABC's Senior Business Correspondent, from Sydney.
