BAD BANK
Bank designed to acquire bad loans of a bank with significant nonperforming assets at market price. These banks clear their balance sheet of bad assets by moving these to the bad bank but they will need to take write downs. As a result, bondholders and shareholders lose money from this solution. Banks that become insolvent because of the process can either be liquidated, nationalized, or recapitalized.
