"Another lesson from U.S. experience (of the '80s) is the costs of poor incentives financial institutions face when confronted with struggling borrowers. A bank often does not want to force restructuring on a borrower, preferring to hide any losses by continuing to roll over loans. A bank's shareholders are not likely to demand action on problem loans, especially if the bank might become insolvent as a result. This set of poor incentives is especially true for a poorly capitalized bank. For these banks, a true resolution will result in a markdown of the value of the loan and a further decline in capitalization. To avoid regulatory scrutiny, poorly capitalized banks struggle to keep loans current, papering over the problem in the misplaced hope for a reversal of fortune." - Yomiuri Shimbun
