The reception of the project's results has been more forthcoming than expected. Oxford University press decided to publish my book in its economic history series (published in December 2020). Within Japan, I have profited from extensive contacts with several researchers. Kobayashi Atsushi (Kyoto University), in particular, plans to build on my research findings to develop a larger research project studying all 'exchange banks' in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. As a preliminary step towards such project, we acquired the full collection of balance sheets of the Chartered Mercantile Bank and the Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China. These amount to several thousand pages of primary data, most of which have not been used before). We are currently in the phase of understanding the information/data contained in the ledgers. Publication of 1 or 2 journal articles in international journals for Economic History (the Economic History Review) are being planned for publication; however, the construction of a complete dataset will probably fall outside the scope of this project. Internationally, the Financial History Review agreed to the publication of a special issue on Asian banking history, edited by prof. Okazaki Tetsuji (University of Tokyo), Ghassan Moazzin (Hong Kong University), and myself. Several papers have been gathered and will be submitted within this fiscal year (2023-2024).

对该项目的结果的接受比预期的要快。牛津大学出版社决定在其经济史系列（2020年12月出版）中出版我的书。在日本，我从与几位研究人员的广泛接触中获益良多。特别是，Kobayashi Atsushi（京都大学）计划以我的研究成果为基础，开展一个更大的研究项目，研究19世纪和20世纪初的所有“外汇银行”。作为迈向这一项目的初步步骤，我们获得了特许商业银行和印度、伦敦和中国商业银行的全部资产负债表。这相当于几千页的原始数据，其中大部分以前从未使用过)。我们目前正处于了解分类账中包含的信息/数据的阶段。计划在国际经济史期刊（《经济史评论》）上发表1 - 2篇期刊文章；然而，构建一个完整的数据集可能超出了这个项目的范围。在国际上，《金融历史评论》同意出版由冈崎哲司教授（东京大学）、加桑莫阿津教授（香港大学）和我共同编辑的亚洲银行史特刊。已经收集了几篇论文，并将在本财政年度（2023-2024）内提交。
