A test for Goldman

A test for Goldman

Author: Financial Times July 15, 2013 Duration: 13:39
This week sees Goldman Sachs’ former employee Fabrice Tourre in court over an alleged derivatives mis-selling scandal and the publication of the bank’s second quarter results. Will either of these events spoil the bank’s attempts to burnish its image? Also discussed are the recent cash crunch in China and its aftermath, and Nationwide’s plan to meet the new 3 per cent leverage ratio by 2015.
