"Japan's financial sector remains paralyzed, despite the passage of the government's bank-reform initiative. Depositors, including some Japanese banks, are unwilling to place money in Japanese banks. The demands of capital preservation in this risk-averse environment dictate taking a minor loss rather than exposing oneself to a potentially large loss, for which the odds appear to be high. Second, Japanese banks are in need of dollars to finance their overseas operations -- and ahead of the calendar year-end. On credit-quality grounds, Japanese banks have been forced to pay a premium over benchmark lending rates, but now there is a new wrinkle: U.S. and European banks have become reluctant to lend dollars to Japanese banks altogether."
