The endorsement of the three coalition allies for the plan to enhance RCC's functions came at a meeting among several senior policy-makers from the coalition parties that took place from Monday night through Tuesday morning, he said.

''Prime Minister (Junichiro Koizumi) has instructed me to hold consultations with the three coalition parties on this matter,'' Yanagisawa said. Koizumi earlier pledged to enhance the functions of RCC to help reduce bad loans on the books of Japanese banks. Yanagisawa said the policy-makers also endorsed a proposal to enable RCC to use public funds to cover the losses that will accrue when it cannot recover full amounts of the outstanding loans which the banks had extended to financially strapped borrowers. The policy-makers also approved a proposal to give RCC the authority to lend money to viable businesses facing fund-raising difficulties with an eye to reviving or consolidating the businesses. Yanagisawa said he has already communicated the results of the discussion to Koizumi. In a related development, Yamasaki told a separate news conference that another RCC proposal worth considering is to allow it to buy the outstanding loans from banks at their original book values, rather than at sharply devalued de·val·ue also de·val·u·ate v. de·val·ued also de·valu·at·ed, de·val·u·ing also de·val·u·at·ing, de·val·ues also de·val·u·ates v.tr. 1.

RCC reportedly proposed that the government will allow RCC to buy the bad loans at their book values minus the amount of loan-loss provisions that had been put up by banks so far. The proposal calls for allowing RCC to jointly cover the losses RCC will incur when it cannot recover the full amount of the loans from borrowers or when it sells the collateral backing the loans on the market. |
