Strauss-Kahn opens bank in South Sudan

Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn arrived in South Sudan Monday to open a bank. “I believe that a country like South Sudan deserves some special attention,” AFP quoted him as saying during a rare public return to the financial world since a sex scandal two years ago. The National Credit Bank (NCB) is a Swiss-backed private venture launched in cooperation with South Sudanese partners, officials said. Strauss-Kahn was greeted at the airport after his arrival by South Sudanese Minister of Commerce Garang Diing.
