| Abstract: | The Lithuanian authorities moved fast to sweep up the mess after a big bank fall-out. But the prime minister and central bank governor joined the debris. When a leading bank collapses the fall-out can be substantial, even in large countries. When a big bank collapses in countries the size of the three Baltic republics, whose populations range from 1.6 million in Estonia to 3.7 million in Lithuania, the knock-on effects can be traumatic. They can even include, as in Lithuania in February, the fall of a prime minister. |
