It loaned on little collateral to shaky banks.

Our lending can provide breathing space for countries in difficulty.

But a hard landing becomes more likely in 2013, as the stimulus fades, non performing loans rise, the investment bust accelerates, and the problem of rolling over the debts of provincial governments and their special investment vehicles can no longer be papered over.

Now, reported NPLs amount to little more than 1 of assets.

In such a scenario, non performing loans in China s banking system would probably amount to roughly 1 trillion.

And the European Central Bank will also blithely continue its bailout policy in terms of giving loans to the eurozone s troubled members and purchasing their government bonds.

The country remains the world s largest creditor, and has slowly but steadily eliminated enormous non performing loans in its banking sector.

Back in 2002, all of China s major banks were awash in non performing loans (NPLs), which in some cases amounted to more than 10 of the total balance sheet.

The old NPL problem was resolved, primarily by establishing asset management companies to take over doubtful assets, and injecting new capital into the commercial banks.

Nonperforming loans will undoubtedly increase in response to the banking sector s exposure to some 1.7 trillion of local government debt, much of which was incurred during the stimulus of 2008 2009.

Conversely, when the monetary authority tightens credit too quickly, asset prices become more volatile, resulting in more non performing loans and triggering economic shocks.

The investment loans and massive debts among local financing platforms, together with the off record credit channeled through the shadow banking system, are increasing the risk that non performing loans will soon shake the banking sector.

Since exports and investment account, respectively, for 30 and 40 of China s GDP growth, its economy is particularly vulnerable to weakening external demand and accumulation of non performing loans caused by excessive and wasteful spending on fixed assets.

Moreover, the level of non performing loans in Chinese banks was quite low when Lehman Brothers collapsed, which allowed Chinese policymakers to let it increase in order to battle the crisis.

But the steep fall in the value of Italian and Spanish banks holdings of government debt, combined with mounting bad loans as a result of recessions exacerbated by punitive borrowing costs, is forcing the banks to rein in business lending further.

Emergency lending to distressed financial institutions and markets, they warned, would only encourage excessive risk taking and create bubbles, while exposing the Fed to losses on its investment portfolio.

At the end of 2012, China s commercial banks held 6.4 trillion in core capital and 1.5 trillion in non performing loan provisions, for a risk cushion of roughly 8 trillion.

For instance, loan guarantee schemes have been set up by Governments and such multilateral agencies as the International Finance Corporation (IFC) with the purpose of covering a percentage of possible losses through default, thereby reducing the perceived risks of lending to smaller enterprises.

The European Union has finally committed itself to helping its financially distressed members.

Lower interest rates on loans are available in capital markets to borrowers who have ample debt service coverage , which is defined as total revenues available for debt service as a percentage of the required debt service. The availability of ample

In the rest of struggling Europe, price adjustment is barely noticeable.

It could also be relevant to purchases of debt from distressed member states.

Moreover, China now holds a massive volume of overseas assets and liabilities its non financial corporations have borrowed as much as 1 trillion abroad. As devaluation causes businesses debt burdens to grow in renminbi terms, the risk of non performing loans and bankruptcies rises.

Over borrowing by local government did pose risks to the banking system and the economy as a whole, but, given China s currently low public debt GDP ratio (just 24 even after the anti crisis stimulus), non performing loans are not a dangerous problem.

These borrowings caused a surge in non performing bank loans in the early and mid 1990 s, when total non performing loans hit 40 of GDP.

Emergency loans are equally important.
