To get a good picture of banks’ financial health, estimating the value of their toxic assets is unavoidable. Regulators could encourage each bank to sell part of its toxic portfolio and extrapolate the portfolio’s value from the price obtained in such a sale, or they could attempt to estimate the portfolio’s value as well as they can on their own.
为了全面了解银行金融健康状况，我们不能不考虑到有毒资产这个因素。政府应该鼓励银行出售有毒资产，并预估可能卖出的价格，或者是现在就估算有毒资产的实际价格。
