Don t confuse saving bankers and shareholders with saving banks. America could have saved its banks, but let the shareholders go, for far less than it has spent.

I think the Obama administration has succumbed to political pressure and scare mongering by the big banks. As a result, the administration has confused bailing out the bankers and their shareholders with bailing out the banks.

I think we can save the bank.

But rescuing banks is not the same as rescuing the euro. Moreover, rescuing the euro is not the same as rescuing the European project.

The Bank helped to finance an innovative participatory approach to women s literacy, which is being implemented by Action Aid in seven countries.

That won't help. That only saves the bank. How do we pull you through?

Now, however, the US government can say none of these things. Officials cannot say that a global recession has been avoided that they bailed in the banks that with the exception of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns they forced the bad speculative actors into bankruptcy or that the government made money on the deal.

To increase their chances of a bailout, banks in the eurozone periphery will doubtless borrow as much as they can from politically connected banks and investors in the core countries. Thus, national taxpayers will remain on the hook for bankers losses.

Rather than imposing the costs of the ECB s and EFSF s losses on European taxpayers, the banks creditors could give up some of their claims in exchange for receiving shares from the banks owners. Debt equity swaps rescue the banks without rescuing their shareholders.

Debt equity swaps would be a much better way to recapitalize the banks. Rather than imposing the costs of the ECB s and EFSF s losses on European taxpayers, the banks creditors could give up some of their claims in exchange for receiving shares from the banks owners.

It certainly rescued many commercial banks, whose exposure toward the Greek state was substantial by the first quarter of 2010. Greek banks had lent most to the Greek government ( 29 billion), followed by French banks ( 20 billion), German banks ( 17 billion), and US banks ( 4 billion).

Delaying bank restructuring is costly, in terms of both the eventual bailout costs and the damage to the overall economy in the interim.

As the Central Bank of the country, the Bank of Zambia administered the Bank of Zambia and Foreign Exchange Acts and assisted the Government in regulating and supervising the operations of the Commercial Banks under the Banking Act.

Add to this the impact of the current West European bank rescue packages on the banking systems of Eastern Europe. On one hand, these programs help promote stability by supporting the parent banks active in the region.

All types of benefits are paid directly through second tier banks to the personal bank accounts of the recipients of the social payments.

The real failings in the Obama recovery program, however, lie not in the stimulus package but in its efforts to revive financial markets. America s failures provide important lessons to countries around the world, which are or will be facing increasing problems with their banks

The problem is that the Basel capital rules whether Basel I, II, or III are of no help in separating the weak banks from the sound ones. Indeed, more often than not, the banks that failed or had to be rescued in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis had solvency ratios higher than those of banks that remained standing without assistance.

Perverse incentives fueled excessive risk taking, and banks that are near collapse but are too big to fail will engage in even more of it. Knowing that the government will pick up the pieces if necessary, they will postpone resolving mortgages and pay out billions in bonuses and dividends.

Meanwhile, though Société Générale has been saved by Noyer s professionalism and political courage, it has been badly wounded and will most likely be taken over by another bank.

Even if there was some bad luck mixed in with manifest incompetence, the presumption generally is if your company requires a government rescue, top management needs to be replaced. The US treasury has for many years consistently advocated such principles both directly and through its influence with the IMF when other countries have got into trouble.

Traditionally, central banks have been the lenders of last resort, but now they are becoming the lenders of first and only resort. As banks curtail lending to each other, to other financial institutions, and to the corporate sector, central banks are becoming the only lenders around.

Likewise, Eurozone leaders extended the EFSF s competence to deal with banks solvency, but stopped short of transferring banking supervision from national agencies to a European body. And they offered an extended aid package to Greece without building a convincing case that the rescue can succeed they arranged for the participation of bondholders in the Greek rescue package, but the arrangement benefited the banks more than Greece.

Zachary's in Silver town. I mean to break into that prison and get him out.

Under the threat of a collapse of the entire system, the safety net intended to help unfortunate individuals meet the exigencies of life was generously extended to commercial banks, then to investment banks, insurance firms, auto companies, even car loan companies. Never has so much money been transferred from so many to so few.

The World Bank assistance programme needs to gather momentum.

Governments do not like to admit the full costs of the problem, so they give the banking system just enough to survive, but not enough to return it to health.

Furthermore, many bank shareholders have suffered from the disruption in lending, either directly or via their businesses or employers. Some have even lost their jobs.

The World Bank is providing financial contribution to this effort.

Experts from EximBanks of the donor community will be invited.

The Fed has given ordinary banks direct access to its credit facilities, and the ECB no longer rations the supply of base money, instead providing as much liquidity as banks demand. Since last October, Western countries rescue packages for banks have reached about 4.3 trillion.

In the US context, the Riegle Neal Interstate Banking Act of 1994, which set a size cap so that no bank can have more than 10 of retail deposits, needs to be amended. We need to update and enforce this sensible general notion and set a limit on how big any bank can become relative to the overall economy.

Second, if banks are too big to fail, they must be shrunk, so that taxpayers do not need to bail them out every time a crisis erupts. In the US context, the Riegle Neal Interstate Banking Act of 1994, which set a size cap so that no bank can have more than 10 of retail deposits, needs to be amended.
