Westpac, debt-easy and raring to go
Article Abstract:
Foreign banks in Australia consider Westpac their toughest corporate services competitor. The bank is one of Australia's dominant participants in the asset securitization, debt syndication, foreign exchange, and bond markets, and the 1998 expiration of a no-compete pact with Ord Minnett will give Westpac more freedom to compete in the underwriting arena.
