Abstinence is the only cure. ;o} japantimes.co.jp "Now that banks are losing their function as financial intermediaries, we will not be able to avoid a bankruptcy rush on par or greater than (fiscal 2000)," said Katsuyuki Kumagai, general manager of Teikoku Databank's Information Department. At the same time, Kumagai was skeptical that the ruling bloc's emergency economic package, announced earlier this month, would solve banks' bad debt problem. The plan calls for major banks to remove existing problem loans from their balance sheets in two years. Banks will only write off loans to nonbanks and midsize firms, while postponing calling large loans to general contractors and distributors through partial debt forgiveness, he said. Of the 295 companies that have been forgiven their debts since 1985, 25.8 percent failed anyway, according to Teikoku Databank. So a bear market rally cures this? Looking forward to a new and rigorous round of bannings. ;o)
