	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Business
		Mizuho has said it is seeking to raise around one trillion yen by the end of March to shore up its capital, hit hard by huge stockholding losses and loan-loss charges against risky borrowers.
		Mizuho decided to seek the financing after forecasting nearly two trillion yen in group net losses for the year to March, the largest ever corporate loss in Japan.
		Mizuho, like other Japanese banks, needs to prevent its capital from eroding further as the government steps up pressure on banks to clean up their balance sheets.

		Mizuho's holding company move is similar to the strategy adopted by rival Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, the nation's second-biggest banking group, which moved into a holding company structure on Monday by putting profitable affiliates under the same umbrella.
		Mizuho, burdened with nearly five trillion yen ($40 billion) of sour loans, said it would speed up bad debt disposal by transferring them to a separate unit, or use a special corporate rehabilitation scheme by September 2003.

		Mizuho Holdings, the world's largest bank in assets terms, posted the heftiest loss in Japanese corporate history yesterday, dealing a fierce blow to hopes that bigger would prove better for the country's unstable financial system.
		The 2.4 trillion yen ($20.4bn or £12.4bn) tide of red ink at Mizuho arrived amid wider news of negative results at Japan's mega-banks - formed through a series of mergers aimed at stabilising a system that has lurched from one crisis to another in recent years.
		Mizuho predicts it will surge back into the fl, with a ¥220bn profit in the 2003 financial year, a forecast that allows it to claim deferred tax assets worth 61% of its core capital.

		One approach would be a bank which simply buys an insurance company or an investment bank; keeps their original brands; and adds it to its holding company simply to diversify its earnings.
		Outside the United States, for example in Japan, it is also permitted to have non-financial services companies within the holding company.
		In this scenario, each company still looks independent, and has its own customers, etc. This is essentially the style of Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase.
