BENGHAZI, Libya -- Most of the gold shops in Suq al Jreed, a once lively bazaar, are closed. In the few that are open, most display cases are empty. Currency traders walk around selling Libyan dinars that still portray reviled dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
The financial crisis of 2007 has brought into sharper focus a set of rising global financial actors-the sovereign investors.
