Still mired in the mud

Article Abstract:

The Japanese government is seeking to tackle the problems of the banking industry and 15 major banks of the 18 that remain are to apply for public loans. The banks still have to tackle their bad debt problems, and the rescue scheme tends to favor the banks. The banks may use the funds for writing down problem loans, and these could amount to $345 billion, according to ING Barings Securities' James Fiorillo. Banks' stockholders are unlikely to be punished, and the banks have little incentive to restructure through mergers, branch closures and the like.
