Stress Tests Might Be Pointless, Treasury Declines to Comment on Off-Book-Assets

By Danielle Ivory on Apr 03, 2009

218 Comments

This report was produced in collaboration with Alternet.

At the center of President Obama's overhaul strategy for Wall Street are the "stress tests" which will be applied to all financial institutions. But how accurate will the test results be? That will depend on whether the treasury takes off-balance-sheet assets into account, experts say.
Back in February, in the House Financial Service Committee, when asked a question about the value of Citigroup's assets, CEO Vikram Pandit provided a less-than-clear response: "It's an extraordinarily difficult question."

Rob Weissman, director of the corporate watchdog group, Essential Action, and author of a new report called Sold Out: How Wall Street and Washington Betrayed America, said that, in addition to what Pandit said, there's an additional factor that could fog the test results: off-the-book assets.

The Treasury declined to comment on whether they would be taken into account.

Another option togucci handbags keep the bill alive would be to try to pass it through the Senate using a parliamentary procedure known ascheap gucci handbags reconciliation. Then Democrats wedding gloveswould need only 51 votes to prevail, instead of the 60 that a typical bill needs to block a elegant fingerless rhinestone filibuster. That would require significantly stripping down the bill since the maneuver applies only to budget Louis Vuitton Mini Noelegislation.
