Timothy F. Geithner in 2008 sent the Bank of England recommendations for improving calculations of the London interbank offered rate, now at the center of a scandal over allegations the benchmark was manipulated.
Geithner, the U.S. Treasury secretary who was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time, sent Bank of England Governor Mervyn King six recommendations.
