Australia's NAB feels squeeze
Article Abstract:
National Australia Bank Ltd. is extending credit to affiliates in response to the negative impact of subprime loans stemming from US mortgages. NAB has put approximately A$6 bil worth of loans onto its balance sheet after affiliates, known as conduits, securitizing lender mortgages called on the bank's standby credit facilities. NAB may have as much as A$11 bil worth of these loans by the end of September.

Article Abstract:
