Abstract

In their book, Global Banking, Smith and Walter argue that there are three models of bank-industry linkages [1, p. 431]. The first is what they call the “outsider system,” which is essentially the English/American system. The typical industrial firm is semidetached from banks. Financing is done mainly through the capital markets, with short-term needs satisfied by commercial paper and longer-term needs through bonds or medium-term notes. Bank relationships are important for backstop lines, etc., but relationships remain at arm’s length.

The Economist, Oct. 16, 2009, Vol. 401, defines keiretsu as a Japanese word meaning headless combine – a form of corporate structure in which a number of organizations link together, usually by taking small stakes in each other and, therefore, having close business relationships. It is often criticized because it implies restricting business only to members of the “family.”

One quirk of reading bond tables is that the financial industry continues the maddening practice of quoting bond prices in 32nds of a point. Therefore, the ask price in this example is 108:20 or 108 20/32 = 108.625. This is 108.625 % of the face value or $10,862.50.
