Praise for Risk, Recovery, and Empowerment: The Kazakhstan Bank Restructure Case Study"The bankruptcy petition filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York by Lehman Brothers on September 15, 2008, set off a worldwide economic nightmare. Its shock waves threatened a global depression. Marcia Elizabeth C. Favale's book, Risk, Recovery, and Empowerment: The Kazakhstan Bank Restructure Case Study walks the reader through how she constructed a "Burden-Sharing" restructuring strategy for three of Kazakhstan's biggest banks that were teetering on failure in the wake of Lehman's bankruptcy. Her strategy brought together conflicting interests of key stakeholders (bank management, depositors, shareholders, creditors, and government entities), which resulted in a hard-fought success for these divergent stakeholders and the people of Kazakhstan. We should all learn from Ms. Favale's strategy."--Paul Regan, CPA, author of The Forensic: How the CIA, a Brilliant Attorney, and a Young CPA Brought Down Howard Hughes

Key Points: 
  • Today, Favale releases her book, a case study, detailing how this international benchmark, The Burden-Sharing Framework, came to be, along with its wider applicability and importance.
  • In February 2009, trying to navigate the financial crisis, the government of Kazakhstan took a decisive step in restructuring its three banks.
  • She was ranked by Institutional Investor Magazine as the "Top Analyst for Emerging Market Corporate Bond Research" (April 2006).
  • Marcia Favale's efforts culminated in a masterpiece that now, with this book, we can all bear witness to."
