World's Biggest Banks Face EU Collusion Claims

The European Commission announced tentative findings that 13 of the world's largest banks colluded to bar exchanges from the risky credit default swap business.
     In a statement Monday, Europe's regulatory body said it had informed the banks - as well as the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and its data-service provider Markit - that they had infringed EU antitrust rules.
     The banks include Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, Barclay's, Bear Stearns, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS.
