  • Korea stares into the abyss
    Last December, Korea staved off default by a whisker. As the rest of the world dithered, the US banks came up with a rescue plan.

    Investment-banking Fees: How low can you go?
    With the merger of SBC and UBS and the sudden exit of both BZW and NatWest from the equities business, one might expect the sinking fees on new international equity issues to be thrown a life-line. Less competition should mean wider margins with fees on international equity deals coming to resemble those in the US, where a lead underwriter can expect 7% for an IPO, down to 3% to 4% for a secondary offer for a large, well-known stock.

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed under which ING would buy a 10% stake in the Thai-listed bank for Bt1.32 billion ($30 million) as part of a recapitalization.
