  • A Behavioral Finance Analysis of the Barclays-LIBOR Case
    Corporate Culture and Frauds: A Behavioral Finance Analysis of the Barclays-LIBOR Case Enrico Maria Cervellati Luca Piras Matteo Scialanga University of Bologna University of Cagliari Luiss Rome Abstract The aim of this paper is to use behavioral finance to explain the factors that brought Barclays Plc. to face a £290 million fine (about $440 million), having deliberately tried to manipulate the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). This sums to the £59.5 million fined by the British Financial Services Authority (FSA) – the highest fine imposed by this organization – and respectively £102 million and £128 million by the US Department of Justice and by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). To achieve this goal, we analyze the reports of the American and British regulatory agencies, and those of financial analysts. Even though the focus of analysis are Barclays’ actions, we compare them with what other market participants did, to give a comprehensive look on financial industry and its dominant culture. In particular, after describing LIBOR rate determination methodology and the behavior of Barclays personnel when violations occurred, we presents Barclays’ failures in organizing its own control systems and establishing a proper corporate culture. Finally, we analyze the behavior of market participants and supervisory authority in evaluating Barclays’ financial and ethical performance. 1 “Barclays had a cultural tendency to be always pushing the limit” Lord Adair Turner, Financial Services Authority Chairman Introduction The aim of this paper is to use behavioral finance to explain the factors that brought Barclays Plc. to face a £290 million fine (about $440 million), having deliberately tried to manipulate the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate).

    SPEECH BY CLLR MPHO PARKS TAU, EXECUTIVE MAYOR OF JOHANNESBURG, AT THE GENERAL MEETING OF MEMBERS OF THE GAUTENG CIRCLE OF THE LAW SOCIETY OF THE NOTHERN PROVINCES, SUNNYSIDE PARK HOTEL, JOHANNESBURG, 11 OCTOBER, 2014 Chairperson of the Gauteng Circle of the Law Society Mr. T. Mkhonto Our keynote speaker for today Honourable Judge V Saldanha Members of the Gauteng Circle of the Law Society Distinguished guests Ladies and Gentlemen Good Morning On behalf of the City of Johannesburg I would like to thank you for inviting us to this important function of the legal fraternity. Gatherings like these offer us an opportunity to share ideas but also to immerse ourselves in the country’s legal issues and in the latest debates in the field. Ladies and gentlemen, as a country we have come a long way since the dawn of democracy in 1994. The democratically elected government led by the African National Congress has done much to deliver on the people’s expectations since then. We now have the most liberal constitution in the world. Previously, human rights violations were an intrinsic part of the system. Now, when they occur, they are seen as a disgrace to our society and action is taken against the perpetrators. Apartheid, which left many of us with physical and mental scars, has been buried for good. As the City of Johannesburg we have also made strides in implementing national policy. We continue to transform our City, including our townships such as Soweto and Alexandra, from a city based on segregation and suspicion to a non-racial people’s city.

The positive take away's from this are quotes from Barclays stating that 'there are no liquidity issues'. Equally, S&P last night reaffirmed Barclays ratings saying that in its view any losses by Barclays as a result of the Sub-Prime meltdown would be 1limited'. Barclays reassures after more borrowing By Peter Thai Larsen and Chris Giles in London Published: August 30 2007 21:17 | Last updated: August 31 2007 00:39 Barclays rushed to reassure investors and depositors on Thursday night after it was forced by what it said was a technical glitch to borrow from the Bank of England's emergency reserves for the second time in just over a week. The UK bank issued a statement after it emerged it had borrowed £1.6bn (€2.4bn) from the central bank's emergency facility on Wednesday evening. The facility, which carries a penalty rate of interest, has become the subject of intense scrutiny by investors as they search for signs of distress as a result of the recent turmoil in the capital markets. Barclays was forced to use the facility after a technical breakdown in the system used to clear and settle money-market transactions left it unable to borrow in the inzer-bank market to cover a short position in its accounts with the Bank of England.

  • Speech by Clr Mpho Parks Tau, Executive Mayor of Johannesburg, Innovating in Financing South African Cities Conference, Sandton, 28 January, 2015
    SPEECH BY CLR MPHO PARKS TAU, EXECUTIVE MAYOR OF JOHANNESBURG, INNOVATING IN FINANCING SOUTH AFRICAN CITIES CONFERENCE, SANDTON, 28 JANUARY, 2015 Your Excellency, Honourable Gauteng MEC for Finance, Ms Barbara Creecy Mayors Senior government officials Business community Distinguished guests Ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the City of Johannesburg I would like to welcome you all to this Innovating in Financing South African Cities Conference hosted by the City in collaboration with the Global Fund for Cities Development (FMDV). Our theme for the workshop is: “Creating funding opportunities for world-class African possibilities”. Ladies and gentlemen, economic development is high on our priority list and the onus is upon us as political leaders, national government, municipalities, banking institutions, regulatory bodies, those in the business world and the other stakeholders present here today, all of whom have the interest of our cities at heart, to ensure that the goals that are set are attained and sustained. Central to this is infrastructure development, this is key to the development of our economy. With global economic slowdown that hampers revenue targets and thus ability finance most of the infrastructure on balance sheet, it then becomes critical that we address these challenges as a collective. The harsh reality in South Africa today is that small and medium sized local government entities as well as municipalities need long term financing at reasonable cost for a number of infrastructure projects. Most urban infrastructure projects have been financed by the state up to now. However with the declining availability of state funds, the flow of money to local government infrastructure projects is steadily diminishing.
