Brannan’s Argument

Although marking to market provides greater transparency to all bank stakeholders (shareholders, depositors, creditors) who have a legitimate desire to more fully understand the economics of a bank's business, the result would be a significant increase in earnings volatility. Increased volatility would make it more difficult for banks to play a stabilizing role in the economy and may make it more difficult for them to obtain stable access to capital.

In addition, marking to market actually involves large conceptual and technological challenges. Overcoming these would require significant investment in technology and cultuaral change.

As a result, banks will resist marking their loan portfolios to market for at least another 20 years.

Bet 149

"US accounting and banking regulations will not require that loan portfolios held in the "banking book" be marked to market before 2024."

Re: Bet 149

It took me a few tries to parse that correctly. It should probably read something like "US accounting and banking regulations will not require before 2024 that loan portfolios held in the 'banking book' be marked to market."

Media outlets didn't sensationalize the story? In the United States it was on most channels constantly even though there had been less than 20 confirmed deaths or cases, and details were never given whether or not there were other factors involved. This story was as sensationalized as you could get, given the fact that there are more deaths in this country due to our open Southwestern borders on a monthly basis than there was due to he swine flu. And I guess unless you lived on a U.S. border in a border state you would have absolutely no concept of what is actually going on there. And they do quarantine animals in England for over 12 months in order to protect the animal populations there. What a spin. Do you happen to work for the mainstream media?see online :
