Swiss bank UBS is set to pay a fine of $1.5b becoming the second bank
after Barclays to be charged with misconduct in connection with the
London Interbank Offered Rate or Libor. Libor is the rate at
which banks lend to each other. It is used to price more than three
hundred and fifty trillion dollars in contracts around the world. Potential
losers include pension funds, insurance companies and individuals. More
than a dozen banks have been caught up in the international inquiry,
and there are more cases to come. Al Jazeera's Tim Friend reports from Central London.
