One couldn’t ask for better proof that antitrust has an important role to play in financial markets than the recent LIBOR controversy and that is the subject of the inaugural edition of the CPI’s Financial Services column. Of course, the financial services industry is huge by many measures. It accounts for almost 10 percent of US GDP and globally provides intermediation, in some fashion, for hundreds of trillions of dollars of contracts involving borrowing and lending capital. For antitrust though, the industry has been and continues to be of interest because of the extent of cooperation among competitors. There are many reasons why such cooperation can increase the efficiency of capital markets though it can also devolve into conspiracy against the public.
