| Abstract: | Not so long ago, banker's biggest headache was a shortage of capital. Lumbered with huge portfolios of dud property and commercial loans, the entire banking systems of some Scandinavian countries had to be bailed out by regulators and governments in the early 1990s. Even once-mighty banks such as America's Citicorp and Britain's Barclays faced piles of lifethreatening bad loans. Now many of the world's biggest banks once again have a capital problem. This time, however, bankers' pockets are brimming with cash. The problem is what to do with it all. |
