‘Several avenues of finance have already been shut off to the $16.5bn project. Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC and Barclays all ruled out funding the development, before the US banks’ refusal. … Citi and JPMorgan Chase said they would not fund any resources project within a world heritage area, while Goldman Sachs said it ruled out funding a development that “would significantly convert or degrade a critical natural habitat.”’
