If you read the institutional daily wires of a house like SSB, you'll see that the Japanese Banks and financial institutions have been taking steps to mark down and write off the non performing assets. good article on a dissenter at the BOJ Message 17273678 .....Of the 70 policy board meetings Mr. Nakahara attended up to this past Feb. 8, he voted against Bank of Japan Governor Masaru Hayami's proposals on 56 occasions, or 80% of the time. He further defied the majority view by putting forward 58 of his own proposals, none of which gathered even a single vote from any of the other board members. (There were a total of four abstentions on his proposals.) From the day he joined the nine-member policy board on April 1, 1998, Mr. Nakahara, a former president and honorary chairman of oil refiner Tonen Corp., has been more pessimistic -- he says "realistic" -- than his fellow members. Believing that Japan is still suffering from "the three excesses" -- an oversupply of borrowing, capital investment and labor -- left behind by the bubble economy of the 1980s, he has consistently argued that the bank should take preemptive action to prevent the economic situation worsening still further.
