Effects of the real estate losses of Japanese banks

Article Abstract:

Declines in the Japanese stock and real estate markets along with the surge of nonperforming real estate loans are compounding problems for the Japanese banking industry. However, these present problems can lead to changes in the Japanese financial system that would allow banks to have more leeway in managing nonperforming loans. A market for securitizing loans could also be established so that banks can gain more liquidity. Changes that may come in the Japanese financial system can also benefit the whole economy eventually.
