Greek bondholders

Business Daily

Available for over a year

How big a loss should Greek bondholders have to bear, in an attempt to reduce the country's crippling debt? Lesley Curwen talks to James Ashley, Senior Economist for Europe at Royal Bank of Canada, about why the debate over 'haircuts' for bondholders has been re-ignited. Plus, Emma Jane Kirby reports on an intriguing London court battle between Russian oligarchs. And the FT's Lucy Kellaway wonders why we do what we do for a living, and whether it is possible to sum up the reasons in just six words.
