Background:

RGE expects total write-downs on securities and loans among eurozone banks to be around US$900 billion to US$1.2 trillion, including losses incurred abroad. Therefore, given the roughly US$350 billion in write-downs already recognized as of the end of June 2009 (according to IMF estimates), RGE expects losses of more than US$500 billion to materialize over the next few quarters. These loss estimates are broadly in line with the IMF’s October 2009 Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR) estimates of US$814 billion — “a useful guidance for the lower bound of potential loan losses in the euro area” in the IMF's own words.
