Nr. 14
Financial policies for the short run
• Capital.
– Buy bad assets. For two reasons: Clarify price. Move price closer
to EPDV.
– Increase capital.
Many institutions may still need recapitalization. So need to add
capital (buy shares).
• Second leg takes time to implement. May need guarantees for deposi-
tors, and for interbank claims. To start interbank lending.
