	Thomson Financial League Tables - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomson Financial's standard league tables are rankings of Investment Banks in terms of the dollar volume of deals they work on.
		League tables are important for classifying investment banks by their area of expertise, but are a very imprecise way of ranking investment banks within broad categories.
		League tables give equal credit to all investment banks involved with a transaction, even if one of them collected the bulk of the fees, was hired first, and had more responsibility.

	Debt - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Financial debt is the debt held by the financial sector (from one financial institution to another).
		Total debt is the sum of all those debts, excluding financial debt to prevent double accounting.
		Lendings to stable financial entities such as large companies or governments are often termed "risk free" or "low risk" and made at a so-called "risk-free interest rate".

	Debt Summary
		Whether the creditor has an incentive to sell a debt on the secondary debt market to an NGO depends on the creditor's estimate of the likelihood of receiving payment from the developing country; on the proportion of potentially bad credit the creditor is holding; and on its own financial situation.
		If the NGOs are willing to pay the price demanded by private banks for developing country debt and swap it for environmental protection projects in the debtor countries, they will have the incentive to pursue debt for nature swaps.
		The most prudent course of action is to obtain capital from a variety of sources, using both debt and equity, and hire professional accountants and attorneys to assist with financial decisions.
