WestLB may shed risk: German bank wants to take $29.3 billion off its balance sheet
Article Abstract:
Germany's biggest state-controlled bank, WestLB AG, may shed approximately $29.3 bil in high-risk assets into a special-purpose, off-balance-sheet vehicle. The move would enable WestLB to avoid taking any write-downs connected to the assets, but could leave taxpayers with any losses.
