WEEK 8: March 1-5
On Tuesday we will finish looking at the Libyan Arab Foreign Bank Case (in Materials Packet 3: Syndicated Loans 1). Then please read Gerald Corrigan’s testimony before the UK House of Commons Treasury Committee on February 22. I am asking you to read this at this point partly because Gerald Corrigan, who is now at Goldman Sachs, was an actor in the Libyan Arab Foreign Bank Case, and partly because we will be going on to think about participants in financial transactions. Then please read Materials Packet 4: Syndicated Loans 2
