Mr. Des Carville:
They do it because selling stock in a high-profile transaction of that nature for a sovereign state is regarded as a prestige transaction. It is a transaction that attracts or carries a huge amount of scrutiny. For that reason, investment banks are very careful around those types of transaction because they know there is a huge amount of scrutiny in fora such as this. They are regarded very much as prestigious landmark transactions that banks can then use to show how good they are when they are pitching for other transactions.
