The WSJ's May 2008 study that set off the LIBOR investigation
05/29/2008
The analysis by the WSJ using credit default insurance showed banks were lowballing the rate they reported daily to the British Bankers Association as part of a 16 bank panel. The apparent intention was to protect perception of the bank's health during the financial crisis. Investigations later showed the other motive was to increase trading profits at banks such as UBS. WSJ analysis showed banks rates clustering together showing possible collusion in setting the rates. Banks which lowballed the most in the WSJ analysis were Citigroup, HBOS, UBS, WestLB, JP Morgan Chase. West LB, Citigroup and HBOS, were considered banks with higher risks during the financial crisis. The LIBOR or London Interbank Offered Rate helps determine the rate for trillions of dollars of transactions in financial markets ranging from home securities, home and auto loans to derivatives and swaps and is critical for the integrity of financial markets worldwide.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
