Chandigarh, February 6
He said that this concept gives banks a single number indicating the impact of a 1 per cent change of interest rate on its capital, captures the interest rate risk, and can thus help them move forward towards assessment of risk based capital. This approach will be a graduation from the earlier approach, which led to a mismatch between the assets and liabilities. The ED said that RBI has been laying emphasis that banks should maintain a more realistic balance sheet by giving a true picture of their non performing assets (NPAs) , and they should not be deleted to show huge profits. Though the banking system in India has a strong risk management architecture, initiatives have to be taken at the bank specific level as well as broader systematic level. He also emphasized on the need for sophisticated credit-scoring models for measuring the credit risks of commercial and industrial portfolios.

Tom Bevan at Real Clear Politics notes that Spitzer's climb-down came too late to save his approval ratings: "Seven months ago Spitzer's net approval rating was +23. In their latest poll, it's at -20. Republicans give him a 29% approval, Independents 33%, and even among members of his own party he's only at 41% - a 36% job approval rating over all.

The truth is more likely that Spitzer's decision is simply unprincipled and poll-driven." .
Many foresee buyouts at GM
Chrysler LLC and Ford Motor Co. also could be expected to offer buyouts to maximize the value of the two-tier wage agreement. The newly ratified contract allows GM to pay new hires into so-called noncore jobs about half the hourly wage of assembly workers and offer a lesser benefits package and less-expensive retirement benefits. The contract says those workers can advance to the assembly-worker wage rate, but will never earn the benefits package current workers have. "We suspect that GM will be back before too long with an announcement of an attrition program geared to induce current noncore workers to retire so they can be replaced with new Tier Two workers at about one-third the cost," Credit Suisse auto analyst Chris Ceraso wrote in a note to investors. "This could add up to north of $1 billion of savings." Jonathan Steinmetz, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, said, "GM will have the ability to migrate a substantial amount of its workforce to a second-tier wage and second-tier benefit structure.
