Clindamycin

Can you use clindamycin to cure a Venereal disease? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cash2018 (talk • contribs) 20:06, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

A quick look at Google suggests Clindamycin is not a good fit. See your doctor. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:36, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Financial services as an export

reference "U.S. financial services exports reached $119.6 billion". This seems like a massive industry at $120 billion annually, but what exactly does it look like? Some examples that are easy enough to understand include credit card processing services and insurance products, but the rest of the financial services export sector and particularly how it is so large is less clear to me (e.g. "financial management"). In more concrete terms, what exactly is the financial services export sector? Muzzleflash (talk) 20:46, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

It would also include hedge funds, money laundering, financial advice, brokerage, currency exchange, trading accounts, trust fund management, accounting in addition to loans and regular bank accounts. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:32, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

See Financial services. Examples include cross-border accountancy, banking, brokerage and valuation. The service of transferring money between countries (and any fees), as with a Western Union transaction are services exports, but the actual money transferred is identified separately under the Balance of Payments system. The largest services exports are travel, ‘other business services’ and charges for the use of intellectual property.DOR (HK) (talk) 10:54, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
