BANKING AND CAPITAL MARKET LAW

: : BACK |
Numerous companies are experiencing financial difficulties because banks haven’t appropriately fulfilled their main duty since the financial crisis, namely provide credits to the economy.
The refusal to grant credits is often justified by an unsatisfactory rating, without it being possible to verify whether and to what extent the used rating result is accurate. The disclosure and advisory duties of banks linked to investment decisions have recently been raised drastically, so that even small shortcomings represent a breach of consultation duties giving rise to a right to reparation, allowing for some of the investment losses to be recovered. |
