Banks involved in a rescue
plan for Greece have set up a steering committee to push forward
talks on a voluntary bond exchange before the end of the year.
The Institute of International Finance (IIF) said the
committee would conduct talks with the Greek and euro area
authorities. Co-Chairmen of the steering committee are Charles
Dallara, managing director of the IIF, and Jean Lemierre, senior
advisor to BNP Paribas.
