Clico, HCU customers to get relief

Government intends to assist depositors and shareholders adversely affected by the collapse of Clico and The Hindu Credit Union. Small Depositors will be paid up to a maximum of $75,000 both failed financial institutions. It would pay off close to 40 percent of the depositors at the institutions.
Those responsible for both financial crises will be held accountable, Finance Minister Winston Dookeran said in his just concluded $49 billion budget.
