WaMu spokesman: no need to rely on outside funding sources
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Washington Mutual does not need to rely on funding from outside sources, a spokesman for the nation's largest thrift said on Thursday. "As we stated publicly months ago, Washington Mutual funds all of its business through its banking operations and does not rely on commercial paper," the spokesman added. At end of June, WaMu had more than $40 billion in liquidity, or access to cash and other assets that can be easily converted to cash. The thrift stopped using commercial paper roughly a year ago. The comments came in response to a report by Gimme Credit analyst Kathleen Shanley which said unsecured creditors are reducing their exposure to the thrift.
