We can also add to these financial risks the massive problems of bond insurers that guaranteed many of the risky securitization products such as CDOs. A very likely downgrade of these insurers’ credit ratings will force banks and financial institutions that hold these risky assets to write them down, adding another $150 billion to the financial system’s mounting losses.
在这些金融风险之中，我们还可以加上债券保险商为许多像债务抵押证券这样有风险的证券化产品提供担保所带来的巨大问题。这些保险商的信用评级极有可能出现的下降将迫使持有这些风险资产的银行和金融机构对它们进行冲销，从而给金融体系已经越积越高的损失中再增加1500亿美元的损失。
