Media Digest

  • Blackstone Plans to Line Up LBO Lenders, Bypass Banks
    Blackstone Group LP, manager of the world’s biggest private-equity fund, plans to bypass Wall Street firms and directly find lenders for leveraged buyouts, President Hamilton James said. The firm is contacting hedge funds and mutual funds to provide loans for takeovers, James said after a panel discussion today at the Super Return conference in Munich. Other firms may follow New York-based Blackstone’s lead, he added. “We’re bypassing the banks,” James said. “There’s still ultimately demand for this paper out there if you can go directly to the buyers.”

  • Shilling Sees Consumers Spend Less as Home Prices Fall

  • Hong Kong Budget Surplus Soars

    Home equity lines of credit are getting harder to come by. Madeleine Brand talks to Sam Eaton about why banks are making it more difficult to borrow against your home.
  • Back from exile
    Thailand is braced for fresh political uncertainty on two fronts, with former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra poised to return from exile just as charges of electoral fraud threaten the newly elected (and pro-Thaksin) government. Thaksin was deposed in the September 2006 coup, but he is expected to return to Thailand on February 28th to face corruption charges. In a separate development, on February 26th the country’s election commission “red-carded” the new speaker of parliament, Yongyuth Tiyapairat, on charges of fraud relating to the December 23rd general election. This means that the commission voted to disqualify Yongyuth from office, a ruling that is now expected to go before the Supreme Court.
