Barclays emergency $20 billion financing move

AntiCitizenOne has alerted me to a US Federal Reserve letter dated October 11, permitting certain financial adjustments within the Barclays banking system. These could amount to as much as $20 billion.

Similar permissions have recently been granted to Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Deutsche Bank (see page 3).

Any comments?

UPDATE

Now RBS also, for up to $10 billion! (Thanks again to AntiCitizenOne for the alert.)
