The Chief Executive Officer, Financial Derivatives Limited, Mr. Bismarck Rewane, said the economic storm gathering over the country might lead to a shake-out in the banking sector. This, he said, was better than having a situation where a bank would collapse. Speaking about the ongoing economic crisis and the spate of non-performing loans, Rewane said, “It will affect their profitability initially and eventually it is going to affect their liquidity and solvency. “Because of the squeeze in profitability, there will be a natural consolidation and a shake-out.” He, however, expressed the hope that the Federal Government’s stimulus packag...

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is boasting about how his group's release of hacked Democratic National Committee emails is affecting the US presidential election -- and says it has unreleased information about Hillary Clinton's campaign.
