El plan de rescate empeorará la situación aún más
During testimony before the House Budget Committee, Peter R. Orszag - Congress’s top bookkeeper - said the bailout could expose the way companies are stowing toxic assets on their books, leading to greater problems.
“Ironically, the intervention could even trigger additional failures of large institutions, because some institutions may be carrying troubled assets on their books at inflated values,” Orszag said in his testimony. “Establishing clearer prices might reveal those institutions to be insolvent.”
In an interview later yesterday, Orszag explained using the following example: Suppose a company has Asset X, whose value is recorded on the books as $100. Because of the current economic decline, Asset X’s real value has dropped to $50. If the company takes part in the government bailout and sells Asset X for $50, the company has to report a $50 loss on its books. On a scale of millions of dollars, such write-downs could ruin a company.
Such companies “look solvent today only because it’s kind of hidden,” Orszag said.
“They actually are insolvent already”, he said.
