empréstimos de relacionamento


Explanation:
São empréstimos com termos favoráveis exigidos em troca de usar uma determinada empresa para lançar ações na bolsa. "Sweetheart" é amado, namorado. Os empréstimos também são chamados de "empréstimos de relacionamento". Veja o artigo no link...

"In many situations the borrower will be very explicit and inform the bank that it will not be permitted to participate in future underwriting business without participating in these "relationship loans." "
