How Much Money do the Big Banks Need?

May 11, 2009 Blog 21 Comments

Thanks to Mark Johnson at US Bank for this information.

The government announced its plan in late February to look under the hoods of the nation’s largest financial institutions to gauge their ability to withstand losses.

The results are now in: Ten of the nation’s 19 largest banks will need to raise a total of $74.6 billion in capital. In addition, the government estimated that losses could total $599 billion this year and next.

In the table below, see which banks stand to lose the most if the economy weakens further — and how much capital each is required to raise during the next six months.
