...Free. Corporations are also trying to evade the restrictions on currency exports. Larger and more complex transactions by companies involve paying excessive prices for imported goods, then having the surplus payment deposited in a Swiss bank, tax free.

In addition, New York's Bankers Trust gave up the practice of automatically keeping its prime loan rate slightly above such key money market rates as those for commercial paper and certificates of deposit; other banks may well follow its lead.
