In the US, real-estate prices remain in free fall, and the banking crisis is still claiming new victims (Bear Stearns, IndyMac, First Heritage Bank, First National Bank of Nevada, First Priority Bank, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.). In the banking world as a whole, expected write-offs now considerably exceed the €400 billion mark projected just last spring.
在美国，房产价格仍然以自由落体的方式下降，而且银行危机仍然在危及新的受害者（从贝尔斯登、因迪美、第一传统银行、内华达州第一国民银行、第一优先银行到房地美以及房贷美等等）。在整个银行业，现在预期的呆账核销数额大大超过了去年春天预计的4000亿欧元。
