Greece, LTROs, "highly abusive" tax schemes and living wills

Greece, LTROs, "highly abusive" tax schemes and living wills

Author: Financial Times March 5, 2012 Duration: 1:05
The banking team discuss the critical week ahead for Greece and wonder if the LTRO has provided a false sense of security. They also take a look at the Barclays tax schemes that the UK government legislated against, and how the world's largest banks are still a long way from completing the "living wills" that spell out how they will be stabilised or shut down. Presented by Patrick Jenkins, with Richard Milne, Brooke Masters and Sharlene Goff. Produced by Amie Tsang
