Some of the country's biggest investment banks and brokerage firms -- including Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co. -- marketed allegedly abusive transactions that helped foreign hedge-fund investors avoid billions of dollars in U.S. taxes over the past decade, according to a report by Senate investigators.

Britain is in the grip of its first recession since the early 1990s and its overall growth this year will trail that of Germany, the European Commission has said. UK economic output will contract by 0.2pc both this quarter and in the final three months of the year, the EC forecast yesterday, as it slashed its estimate for growth in 2008 to 1.1pc from 1.7pc.
EU sees recession likely to push UK behind Spain and Germany
An attempt by members of the Opec oil cartel to halt the recent slide in crude prices by deciding to cut back supplies seemed to fail yesterday. In New York, crude fell 68 cents to settle at $102.58, while, in London, Brent crude settled at $98.97, down $1.36.

Britain's power companies have claimed that a major energy announcement today by Gordon Brown will amount to a "windfall tax" in all but name. The nine energy groups operating in Britain believe that a series of Government initiatives dressed up as "green" measures will leave them significantly out of pocket, with the total take potentially topping 1bn.
UK energy companies braced for 'windfall tax'
A former member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee has called for the replacement of the London interbank offered rate, describing it as "fundamentally flawed". "Libor is not the price of anything," Mr Buiter said in an interview on Bloomberg television. "It is the rate at which banks don't lend to each other."
Former MPC man calls for Libor to be replaced
Outflows from emerging markets bond and equity funds reached $29.5bn over the past three months, the highest level since at least 1995, with withdrawals gathering pace over the past week.
Emerging markets see massive outflow
Russia suffered another day of capital flight yesterday, despite the efforts of President Medvedev to calm the plummeting Russian stock market. Redemptions by fund investors and margin calls by banks helped to push Moscow's RTS index down a further 5 per cent.
Even Dimitri Medvedev cannot stop slide in Moscow's stock market
A leading international law society has condemned Russia for the "state-sponsored intimidation" of lawyers representing HSBC and the hedge fund Hermitage Capital Management after they uncovered a large alleged tax fraud.
