		</div><p>Barclays Bank has agreed to pay 100 million US dollars (£77m) to 43 states and the District of Columbia to settle allegations it improperly set key interest rates almost a decade ago, affecting payments on investments.</p>
<p>Monday&#8217;s settlement includes 93.5 million US dollars (£72m) in restitution and costs of the investigation led by the New York and Connecticut attorneys general.</p>
<p>Authorities say that in the global financial crisis from 2007 to 2009, the British bank lowered rates to avoid the appearance that Barclays was in financial trouble.</p>
<p>They also say that from 2005 to 2009 Barclays traders requested rates to benefit their trading positions.</p>
<p>New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said Barclays is the first of several banks under investigation by the states to resolve claims.</p>
<p>Barclays did not immediately reply to a request for comment.</p>
