| Tiivistelmä: | Non-performing loans by Japanese banks may total as much as 75 trillion yen - but you wouldn't know that from the official figures. Both the Ministry of Finance and the banks themselves have conspired to keep the true extent of the bad-debt crisis under wraps, partly from embarrassment and partly from fear of panicking depositors. That wouldn't be so bad if they were tackling the problem - but they aren't. The problem for the banks is that profits from stock sales are transferred to loan-loss reserves rather than retained earnings, reducing the amount of capital available to support new loans. |
