I know of an agency in Washington that thought its status diminished by having a FLA, so it used a TLA instead. ("What's that?" you ask. An FLA is a four letter acronym, while a TLA is a three letter acronym.)
Well the would is "enriched" by a new acronym: "Sifi." Apparently one does not have to do it in all caps. (We really do need some regulation!) I read in the Financial Times, "Bank of China talks up its Sifi status."I was quite baffled. "Sifi?" I asked. The FT explained the acronym as “systemically important financial institutions.” (I caught it on the second reading.)
