Description

Holding Bankers to Account provides a compelling account of the rigging of benchmarks during and after the financial crisis of 2007-08. Written in clear language accessible to the non-specialist, it offers the historical context necessary for understanding the benchmarks such as LIBOR, FOREX, and the Gold and Silver Fixes.

The book explores how and why these benchmarks have to be reformed in the face of rapid technological changes in markets. While banks have been fined and a few traders have been jailed, justice will not be done until senior bankers are made responsible for their actions.

Provocative and rigorously argued, Holding Bankers to Account makes concrete recommendations for improving the security of the financial services industry and holding bankers to account.
