AMERICA has been dithering about how to sort out its banking crisis. The market has forced its hand. On the morning of Monday February 23rd a joint statement by banking regulators said that they stood “firmly behind” the banking system and would initiate promised stress tests of banks’ capital positions on Wednesday. The fine print remains critical and, so far, unclear, but the statement should at least halt the scary market moves that took place last week.
