It might have been hoped that the bank supervisors who stress-tested the banks would try to estimate the size of the banks’ losses on toxic assets. Instead, supervisors estimated only losses that banks can be expected to incur on loans (and other assets) that will come to maturity by the end of 2010.
银行管理者在进行“压力测试”时候，应该考虑到有毒资产的因素。他们目前只是考虑到2010年之前银行因为贷款而受到的损失。2010年之后的损失都没有考虑在内。而这个对银行来说，是它们受到经济重创的主要原因。
